You commit murder, you go to hell. Assume there is no chance for absolution- the murderer dies without devine forgiveness.
You commit suicide, you go to hell.

The Christian bible is pretty clear with the fact that by asking forgiveness in a sincere manner with the intent not to repeat the sin God forgives us. The Christian bible also states that the way to salvation and eternal life is through Jesus. Murder and suicide are sins, sure. Killing someone just isn't an automatic sentence to hell according to that book. It sounds like you may be going off of Catholic dogma from your post - something like different degrees of sin. The bible doesn't have that.
