>People who are willing to commit murder are often sociopaths and pathological liars

Only 27% of them apparently[0], so even murderers are still more likely to not be a psychopath.

Murder as part of a burglary or other monetary crime seems more likely to be linked to sociopathy than the entire range of reasons people murder.

Thats an opinion. It could easily be argued the other way around. Murders during burglary has a higher chance of have happened accidentally than other kind of murders. Stealing is more likely to happen because of poverty than psychopathy. Its kinda a useless exercise making up arguments uninformed by reality.
