The benefit was to create an opening for him to get Shirahoshi. He wasn't going to get Otohime's permission to marry Shirahoshi, so might as well move her out of the way. He could care less about Fishman Island. He only cares about bagging the child and trying to use her to rule the world. Even if he wasn't the one that pulled the trigger, the fact that he took advantage of Shirahoshi's mom's death and a mourning child to do the deed is already repulsive.
Now if you are hinting who else has motivation to do so, there is a long line. You can start with Hody, then Arlong, then Celestial Dragons, then World Government, and even Aladdin. Anyone of the fishmen who hates humans have a reason to kill Otohime, who is trying to promote togetherness with humans. Celestial Dragons want their slaves back. World Government does not wantly "lowly" fishmen to join their ranks.
