Check the terms of the policy. In most cases, yes, as long as the beneficiary was not responsible in any way for the murder. The insurance company may require full police reports.

Your sister was murdered by her husband who then committed suicide your sister was first beneficiary on policy do her family have any rights to the life insurance death benefits?
Usually it depends on how the beneficiaries were stated on the policy. If she left all to the husband, then since he was the last to die, his beneficiaries would be the ones who count. But, if she died first, the contingent beneficiaries would be the next on the list. I don't know though, if the murder and suicide would affect this.
If someone with life insurance is killed does it void the contract?
Not all insurance contracts are the same, however, life insurance excludes death that results from war. It may or may not exclude suicide. It does not exclude accidental death or murder. Note that even if the death benefit is not paid, the premiums will still be returned.
Can a beneficiary collect life insurance benefits if they are accused of murder?
An accusation (for example, an indictment) will most certainly give a life insurer cause to investigate the death of an insured. However, the insurer is unlikely to fully deny the possibility of paying the accused until the resolution of formal charges. If the beneficiary is adjudicated guilty of the murder, it is likely that the insurer will refuse payment. The public policy reason behind this is that beneficiary should not be allowed to benefit from his/her own criminal act.
