It was alleged that nero had his half brother Britannicus murdered because he died in suspicious circumstances in 55 AD. If this was the case, it would have been because his power hungry and overbearing mother was aiming to have Britannicus replace him as emperor because she was unable to turn Nero into his pupped as she had hoped.
Nero tried to murder his mother Agrippina though a planned shipwreck was sunk, but she survived. Thenin 59 he had her murdered and framed it as a suicide.
Nero had a number political opponents executed. These were not murders.
In 65 Nero got his former tutor and advisor in the early year of his reign, Seneca, to commit suicide. This was because he admitted to have talked to conspirators who plotted to depose nero. Seneca complied because this was considered to be more honourable than execution and because, unlike executed people his property would not be confiscated and his family could keep it.

Why was emperor Nero important?
Nero is one of the Roman emperors who is given a bad rap. He is blamed for the Great Fire of Rome, blamed for killing his mother, blamed for killing his wife, blamed for killing several aristocrats, blamed for persecuting the Christians, blamed for extravagance, blamed for vices, and blamed for bankrupting the treasury. However a careful study of his reign will prove otherwise on almost all the above points. As for the Fire of Rome, there is no proof that Nero started it, in fact he was not even in Rome at the time, he was at Antium some distance away. When he heard of the fire he rushed back to try to oversee things. Yes, he did kill his mother, but she was ready to do the same to him. As far as murdering his wife, we don't know the actual reason. As far as murdering the aristocrats, they were all involved in plots against him. His main "vice" according to the ancient writers, was his appearance on the stage and his appearances as a chariot driver. To the aristocrats, this was shocking and appalling. He did not "persecute" the Christians, he prosecuted them for arson. Nero today is remembered for his "dark side", but very little attention is paid to the beneficial side of his reign.
