Correction: It should also be pointed out that Bowman didn't murder the lady for her jewelry. While his motives were unknown (and irrelevant), he simply used the jewelry to frame Walker.

Correction: A plot hole is when there is a logical inconsistency that benefits a story despite not making any sense. A reason not being given for a character's actions is not a plot hole, nor is it any other kind of mistake.

Not only is it not known why Bowman killed the woman, no explanation is ever given as to why he chose to frame Walker so it still benefits as a plot hole.

No, it doesn't. As I already mentioned, a plot hole is an inconsistency that benefits the story despite not making any sense. Explanations not being provided for character decisions is just that - missing information. Calling it a plot hole is categorically false.
