I am fairly sure it has a direct association to the sounds a person makes when they are being killed. So, when people "scream bloody murder" they are making a loud sound that anyone and everyone can hear clearly.
10. yell or scream bloody murder,
a. to scream loudly in pain, fear, etc.
b. to protest loudly and angrily: If I don't get a good raise I'm going to yell bloody murder.
It would sound something like this maybe...
