"it was more suicide than murder."

Here we go. Do you know why someone can get charged with murder if someone commits suicide? It's because even though the person may not have killed the person themselves, they indirectly caused that person's death.

Scott essentially chose to commit suicide, but it was Jennifer's actions that forced him to make that decision. Ergo, it totally counts towards her "kill count."

If Jennifer didn't have Melissa, Scott wouldn't have been put in the position to act as a surrogate sacrifice. However, because she did, he was forced to choose whether or not they (Scott, Stiles, Allison) would act as a surrogate sacrifice in their parents' place. They died for 16 or so hours. Jennifer's actions were the main driving force behind that decision. Jennifer indirectly caused Scott to die. She was the first villain to kill Scott.
