حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ أَبِي بَزَّةَ : " أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ جُبَيْرٍ ، هَلْ لِمَنْ قَتَلَ مُؤْمِنًا مُتَعَمِّدًا مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ ؟ فَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَلا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلا بِالْحَقِّ سورة الفرقان آية 68 ، فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ : قَرَأْتُهَا عَلَىابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ كَمَا قَرَأْتَهَا عَلَيَّ ، فَقَالَ : هَذِهِ مَكِّيَّةٌ نَسَخَتْهَا آيَةٌ مَدَنِيَّةٌ الَّتِي فِي سُورَةِ النِّسَاءِ " .
Narrated Al-Qasim bin Abi Bazza: That he asked Sa`id bin Jubair, "Is there any repentance of the one who has murdered a believer intentionally?" Then I recited to him:-- "Nor kill such life as Allah has forbidden except for a just cause." Sa`id said, "I recited this very Verse before Ibn `Abbas as you have recited it before me. Ibn `Abbas said, 'This Verse was revealed in Mecca and it has been abrogated by a Verse in Surat-An-Nisa which was later revealed in Medina."

Hadith Commentary:
➊
The position of Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhu was that there is no repentance for the murderer.
The verse in Surah Al-Furqan in which repentance for the murderer is mentioned is a Makkan verse, which has been abrogated by the following Madinan verse from Surah An-Nisa:
"And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide forever. Allah is angry with him, has cursed him, and has prepared for him a great punishment." (: An-Nisa 4:93)
➋
In any case, the position of Ibn Abbas radi Allahu anhu is contrary to the majority of the scholars.
It is possible that he adopted this view as a preventive measure, or that he interpreted it as referring to istihlal (i.e., one who considers killing to be lawful).
Otherwise, all sins are forgiven through repentance.
We have explained this in detail in the benefits of Hadith 4590.
