yes you can as the dependents of the deceased you can sue under law of tort for damages. this action may be started at any time before 3 years after the death have lapsed. although a not so common law suit it is possible infact very possible. many people assume that once criminal action has been taken civil procedure cant be commenced but that is false it is not to be confused with double jeopardy. so yes you can sue someone for murder.
