There are 2.
1. Blasheming against the Holy ghost.
2. Murder. The reason for murder is because of the requirements to receive forgiveness and Repenting.
Lev. 6:4 Then it shall be, because he hath sinned, and is guilty, that he shall restore that which he took violently away, or the thing which he hath deceitfully gotten, or that which was delivered him to keep, or the lost thing which he found,
one must repent.
Repentance includes feeling sorrow for having knowingly chosen to act contrary to God's will, asking God for forgiveness, doing all possible to correct problems caused by sinful actions, and turning away from sin to do it no more.
How can a person correct a problem caused by murder or suicide? Can you bring the person back to life? That is also why LDS don't believe in the death bed confession for remission of sins. No oppurtunity to correct problems for TRUE REPENTENCE or turn away from the sins.
The only 2 exceptions to killing are:
Self defense-to protect your own life or others.
Time of war--when sent to war in defense of country. Leaders will be held responsible for those.
The Greatset sacrifice that man can make is to lay down his life for God or in the protection of others.

I believe there is really only one. If you sin against the Holy Ghost, after having had a sure witness that God lives and Jesus Christ is the Savior, and then you turn around and decide to deny God's existence and follow Satan the rest of your life, that is the unpardonable sin. However, very, very few people who have ever lived on the face of the earth have ever been in that position. I believe the Bible does not even describe anyone who has been in that position-except for Satan himself, of course. In the Book of Mormon there is one anti-Christ named Sherem, described in Jacob 7 in the Book of Mormon, who after growing up in the Church and reading the scriptures, purposely turns against it and tries to say that the scriptures did not testify of Jesus Christ and was instead advocating a return to the law of Moses without any reference to Jesus Christ. However, the prophet Jacob sets him straight, and because Sherem demanded a sign, the "power of the Lord" strikes Sherem down. Before Sherem dies, he admits that he was deceived by the devil, and said, "I fear lest I have committed the unpardonable sin, for I have lied unto God; for I denied the Christ, and said that I believed the scriptures; and they truly testify of him. And because I have thus lied unto God I greatly fear lest my case shall be awful; but I confess unto God." After that Sherem dies. However, the prophet Jacob neither confirms nor denies that Sherem has committed the unpardonable sin, probably because he did not have enough information to judge. He only says that it was an answer to prayer because Sherem had been leading away so many people from the true doctrine of Christ.
As far as murder being an unpardonable sin, it is my opinion that there is no true forgiveness of murder in this life, because the restitution is impossible to make in this life. I do not know how that restitution is accomplished in the next life, in the spirit world, but I know that the Atonement of Jesus Christ was not designed to cover pre-meditated murder, and it must be worked out some other way. However, people who commit murder are also commanded to repent and come unto Christ, to repent as far as they are able to do so. After all, most people pass through a multitude of other sins before even considering murder, so the repentance process is going to take a long time. Hope this helps.

Mormon leaders have defined the unpardonable sin (also called the "sin against the Holy Ghost") two ways. The first way is committing murder. The second way is "assenting to the murder of Jesus Christ, or rebelling to the point that the person effectively crucifies Him again." Not sure how this is done, but it is one sin, expressed in two different ways.
