It's simply because some people have to equate turning evil with killing someone. It's terribly funny because Regina didn't turn evil by killing someone and she's the Evil Queen! Neither did Zelena, Malcolm, or a host of others.

Well, I don't see Emma taking credit for something she didn't do. So, I believe she took them back and erased their memories for her ulterior motive. Maybe they are standing in her way of pursuing great power or her twisted way of defeating the darkness or something.
