I'm not sure but I think slaves qualified as goods/property. Killing one would have been equivalent to breaking a vase or killing a horse. Although a good horse might have been more expensive than a cheap slave. I think it was not considered as murder, the culprit would have to pay for the loss of the owner.
I'm not absolutely sure though...
