I don't think that's a belief. What factual questions would distinguish a world where murder is icky from one where murder is not icky?
Beliefs can be wrong, but that doesn't make them non-beliefs.
Any belief of the form "X is Y" (especially where Y is a judgment of goodness or badness) is likely either an instance of the mind projection fallacy, or a simple by-definition tautology.
Again, however, this doesn't make it not-a-belief, it's just a mistaken or poorly-understood belief. (For example, expansion to "I find murder to be icky" trivially fixes the error.)
