No. No murders took place aboard the First Fleet. Furthermore, none of the convicts wee transported for murder or manslaughter. They were all convicted for things like burglary, petty theft, fraud and so on. They were surprisingly non-violent.
Most of there partners ran away or they were caught with each other.
The convicts of the First Fleet married each other, or the female convicts married marines or officers who might have fancied them. The first weddings occurred within two weeks of the fleet arriving in Australia, with Reverend Richard Johnson officiating at the marriages of five couples on 10 February 1788. One such couple was the notorious convict pair William and Mary Bryant, who became famous for their escape from the colony.
The convicts of the First Fleet slept below decks, in the bottom part of the ship, on wooden bunks. Down each side of the convict ships were 2 tiers of wood bunks which were 1.8 meters square -the size of 2 single beds pushed together. 4 convicts would all have to share a bunk.
The First Fleet, consisting of British convicts and soldiers, arrived in Sydney on January 26th 1788. This day is commemorated each year as 'Australia Day.'
There was no Captain of the Second Fleet of convicts to Australia, just skippers for each of the individual ships. This was because the Second Fleet was not placed under government command, but was contracted out to private shipowners and businesses.
The convicts on the First Fleet did not require restraint. For most of the journey, the convicts on the First Fleet were kept below decks. They were shut in, literally, and had nowhere to escape. They lived with each other's fleas, body lice and diseases, including cholera and typhoid. Conditions were very unsanitary, with their waste having to go in a bucket and be emptied daily. The convicts experienced sickness from the violent movement of the boat, and this often led to malnutrition, which caused so much lethargy and weakness that restraints were not necessary. They were allowed on deck for only a few minutes at a time, but they were too weak to do anything except sit in the open air. The guards aboard each ship were sufficient to overpower any foolish convict who might attempt to escape.

Captain Arthur Phillip commanded the First Fleet. He was a naval officer who, in October 1786, was appointed Governor-designate of the proposed British penal colony of New South Wales.
Standard supplies were stored below the main decks. These would include basic rations and supplies needed for the convicts and officers aboard each of the boats. The three supply ships of the First Fleet were the Borrowdale, the Fishburn and the Golden Grove. These carried supplies needed to begin the new colony, such as tools, implements and seeds.
The first planned "migration" of European settlers to Australia occurred with the First Fleet of convicts, officers and marines, with a few free settlers among the marines' families. The First Fleet left England in May 1787 and arrived in Australia in January 1788.
