Sure, I assume so too. But the ambiguity over whether it's another human being she's killed because she just can't stop killing human beings remains, as silly as it might be. In this case, most people won't notice the ambiguity because of idiomatic usage, but in some other case if an author doesn't notice an ambiguity they may end up with the reader reading something they didn't intend to write.
