It wouldn't be the killing that they rejected, it may however, have been the implication that her apparent death may have caused. Ocean Master's power and influence came largely from being Prince Orm of Atlantis. A member of the royal court with easy access to the Science Dome's development or any other happenings. Killing Tula, which most likely was not the intention, bigger fish to fry and all that (no pun intended.) may have led to the Aquafamily renewing their efforts against him and caused his identity to be revealed. This would bar him from the Royal Family and a great sphere of influence that Atlantis offered to the Light.
