What's really going on
The murder itself is almost off-screen; what the scene dwells on is the aftermath, and that is the point. Sidney's first line over the body is not guilt but housekeeping: 'Right on the rug. One point for neatness.' He then treats the killing as a problem of logistics, checking on Myra's heart and outlining how a would-be playwright might vanish. Myra supplies the guilt he refuses: 'We'll go to prison for life.' Their exchanges lay out a marriage with two very different appetites, his for a hit play and a comeback, hers for getting through the night. The horror is in the tone, not the act.
Theme

Yes. Clifford is still wearing the handcuffs when Sidney attacks him, and Myra screams through it. The rest of the scene shows Sidney planning what to do with the body.

He tells Myra a young would-be playwright simply walked away from his house-sitting job, leaving his clothes and typewriter, and that the police will never care.
