So by your logic... Would you become a triple killer by killing a double killer? Or a serial killer by killing a single serial killer? What about the trolley problem if the single guy is a serial killer then? I need answers

Due to the transitive property of murder, you have valid points.
But you always let the trolley kill the old person instead of the murderer; the murderer can stop murdering, the old person can only be stopped by killing them. In all other cases the murderer gets trolley'd.
By the additive property of killing, you'd be a triple killer if you killed a double. Serial killers get the title by killing people all in a row. If they're not in a row it doesn't count.
The trick to the trolley problem is to yank the brake, jackknife the trolley cars, and hit everyone. This would make you a septuple killer, and earn the 'Badass Moves' achievement.
Ok, but what if I drive a Time Trolley to run over my own grandpa before he met my own grandma and kill Antoni Gaudi?
I'm pretty sure this was an episode of Futurama, and you end up getting laid. Just don't ask too many questions.
