First murder victim (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abel

'first murder victim' is the definition.
(Abel was murdered by his brother Cain in the Bible)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for abel that I've seen before include "Cain slew him" , "Old Testament brother" , "Eve's son" , "Second child" , "Bale out with murder victim" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
