Under the estoppel theory of punishment, one who commits a murder is, by their actions, estopped from (logically unable to) objecting to their own destruction.
"The basic insight behind this theory of rights is that a person cannot consistently object
to being punished if he has himself initiated force. He is (dialogically) “estopped” from asserting the impropriety of the force used to punish him, because of his own coercive behavior. " - http://data.mises.org/journals/jls/12_1/12_1_3.pdf
