Many mystery stories have more than one murder. You can have as many as you'd like. You can even have a "red herring" murder that is committed by someone not the main villain if you want!

In the rules for writing a detective story what does it say about having more than one murderer?

Basically it says no.S. S. Van Dine in www.mysteryinkonline.com/2005/01/twenty_rules_fo.html says that "There can only be one murderer. The villain could have a helper or "co-plotter," but only one is going to get the ax in the matter."I have to disagree with this -- I've read plenty of mystery stories in which two (or even more) people conspire to murder someone. The best one is Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express.
