It's not about it "having murder in it", it's about the old trope that a woman's infidelity and even more specifically a woman mocking/laughing at a man is a justification for that man to become violent or even murderous.

Men literally get away with murder as "crimes of passion" in court because the jury has been convinced that his poor little ego was just so broken by rage and jealousy that the outburst wasn't his fault.

That's what the song is about. Really gross.

Like I said before, heavy Johnny Depp vibes.
