The first murder victim, according to the Old Testament (4)

I believe the answer is:

abel

(Other definitions for abel that I've seen before include "Eve's son" , "done in before anyone else" , "Bale out with murder victim" , "Victim of 11" , "Cain slew him" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
