Given that I can think of two books off the top of my head where a major character achieves immortality through murder (or otherwise destroying another person's soul), I don't think that's too close at all.
(Er. Is naming one of the two books going to be too much of a spoiler for it, given that one doesn't find out about the soul-stealing until mid-book?)
