Kingston, murder seems to be working pretty well for some Drug lords and dictators, so therefore your assertion is false. And who decides what "benefits" are?
Perhaps there's a certain level where society benefits?
Anyway, your assertion is BS.
Did you have siblings?
Ever been in the situation where there's one cookie but two kids? Your parent makes you break the cookie in two, and the other kids gets to choose first?
Lets apply the "Veil of ignorance" to what you are assenting is a "just" society. Sure the ability of dictators and drug lords to kill whom they want with out consequence might be nice for them, but is this how you would design a society if you had not idea what roll in it you might play??
Lets take this a step further. Think of how you think gays should be treated. If that how you would design it if you had no idea if you would be assigned the role of a gay person?
How about your kids. If one or more of them turn out gay, how do you want them to be treated? Should they be killed per Leviticus 18 and 20??
You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it.
