The first point that was of interest is given in Chapter
I verse 12 where it mentions the children of Adam and Eve.
It reads

And the Lord God drove them that day from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from
which they were taken, and they went and dwelt at the east of the garden of Eden; and Adam
knew his wife Eve and she bore two sons and three daughters.
The Bible doesn't make mention of any daugthers. It does make sense that daugthers would be born though as females would
definately be needed in order to increase the population of the Earth.
The next point of interest is the story of Cain murdering
Able (Chapter I Verses 15-27). The story expands more on how the murder came about. It reads :

I
15
And it was at the expiration of a few years, that
they brought an approximating offering to the Lord, and Cain brought
from the fruit of the ground, and Abel brought from the firstlings of his
flock from the fat thereof, and God turned and inclined to Abel and his offering,
and a fire came down from the Lord from heaven and consumed it.
16
And unto Cain and his offering the Lord did not
turn, and he did not incline to it, for he had brought from the
inferior fruit of the ground before the Lord, and Cain was
jealous against his brother Abel on account of this, and he sought a pretext to slay him.
17
And in some time after, Cain and Abel his brother,
went one day into the field to do their work; and they were both
in the field, Cain tilling and ploughing his ground, and Abel
feeding his flock; and the flock passed that part which Cain had
ploughed in the ground, and it sorely grieved Cain on this account.
18
And Cain approached his brother Abel in anger,
and he said unto him, What is there between me and thee, that
thou comest to dwell and bring thy flock to feed in my land?
19
And Abel answered his brother Cain and said unto
him, What is there between me and thee, that thou shalt eat the
flesh of my flock and clothe thyself with their wool?
20
And now therefore, put off the wool of my sheep
with which thou hast clothed thyself, and recompense me for their
fruit and flesh which thou hast eaten, and when thou shalt have
done this, I will then go from thy land as thou hast said?
21
And Cain said to his brother Abel, Surely if I
slay thee this day, who will require thy blood from me?
22
And Abel answered Cain, saying, Surely God
who has made us in the earth, he will avenge my cause, and
he will require my blood from thee shouldst thou slay me,
for the Lord is the judge and arbiter, and it is he who
will requite man according to his evil, and the wicked man
according to the wickedness that he may do upon earth.
23
And now, if thou shouldst slay me here, surely God knoweth thy
secret views, and will judge thee for the evil which thou didst
declare to do unto me this day.
24
And when Cain heard the words which Abel his brother had
spoken, behold the anger of Cain was kindled against his brother Abel for declaring this thing.
25
And Cain hastened and rose up, and took the iron part
of his ploughing instrument, with which he suddenly smote his brother
and he slew him, and Cain spilt the blood of his brother Abel upon the
earth, and the blood of Abel streamed upon the earth before the flock.
26
And after this Cain repented having slain his brother,
and he was sadly grieved, and he wept over him and it vexed him exceedingly.
27
And Cain rose up and dug a hole in the field,
wherein he put his brother's body, and he turned the dust over it.
