Well, first of all, it wasn't "one more death" but "one more curse". 

Secondly, if I remember correctly, that is a quote from Harry's 
dream, meaning in the summer before his forth year. 

Wormtail had just brought Voldemort from Albania, where LV had 
murdered Bertha Jorkins, to his father's house. There Voldemort plans 
the attack on Crouch Sr., in order to free his faithful servant and 
eventually get at Harry. 

Hence, the "one more curse" is the curse on Crouch Sr. (not 
necessarily a murder, btw).

Hope it helps!
