What you want is a nuetral outcome, a victimless crime, which is not possible in this situation.

That's kind of the point of the thought experiment. It's pretty impossible to engineer a scenario in which somebody's death is truly of no consequence to anyone or anything around them, but in such a hypothetical situation, would it still be immoral to kill that person? If so, why?

there is no extra human life lost in self defense, it was either your life or the attackers to begin with

So now we've walked back from "murder is always bad and I don't need to think about why" to "it's okay to murder if it saves another life" (noting that "murder" is distinguished from other killings only by being illegal, and in a debate about what the law should be, the current state of the law is meaningless). Obviously you've put some thought into the morality of murder, then. Why the reluctance to share your thoughts?
