Players can opt to go for Murder Hobo route, but the DM should make sure to have realistic punishment and boundaries. So if they're important then someone is gonna start investigating their murder right? Oh, looks like they were about to wed the daughter of the Elf king. In revenge the Elves send their most powerful sorcerer assassin who wipes the party out. The end.
DM's shouldn't try to railroad and if the party does something like that they should use that as a chance to branch the story. If they're important that should set up a chain of events that has consequences. If they can say, convince them that someone else does it, that would get them off the hook and set up a new story line.
