If a catholic person murders a Jewish person then later confesses his sin to a priest and repents for the rest of his life then he will go to heaven and the slain Jew will go to hell?

No, and for many reasons.
For one, it is enough to simply confess your sin and do the required penance. You don't have to "repent for the rest of your life." There's no point in that. Once the sin is forgiven, it's forgiven.
Secondly. just because a person confesses a sin and does his penance, that does not mean that he will go to heaven. The mere fact that he's Catholic is certainly not enough. You have to die in good standing with the Lord in order to receive heaven for your eternal reward. It is possible, in your scenario, that the Catholic who committed murder, confessed it, and did his penance could later sin in such a way that his relationship with the Lord is no longer a righteous one. If he dies in that state, he will go to hell, even though he is a Catholic.
Finally, there is no reason to believe that the Jew is going to hell. His Judaism is certainly not reason enough.
