Why did the creature known as Arumus kill Tasha?

Her previous career was "Eliminators". Should've given her a hint.
Apparently one year out of four, so far. Hopefully not eight.
I always thought it was particularly ridiculous that Sela looked EXACTLY like Tasha.
Who looks EXACTLY like their parent?
Silly.
As far as bad and horrifying scenes of sex, the one with the really creepy guy that was part Betazoid rubbing that disgusting looking grease onto Troi's feet, that is by far the most disgusting scene centered around sex in the entire TNG series.

I bear a rather striking resemblance to my father, although fortunately the one thing I didn't inherit from him was male pattern baldness. That's the main reason I've never grown a beard -- it makes me look way too much like him.
Of course, children never exactly resemble their parents, but they often look quite similar, which is close enough to justify the common trope of casting the same actor to play both parent and child, or ancestor and descendant. I think that, in-universe, we're supposed to imagine that the resemblance is merely strong rather than exact. Easier to cast the same actor than to find a different actor who looks similar enough to pass as a relative. And it's no worse than casting a different actor to play a younger or older version of the same character. Neither Tom Hardy nor James MacAvoy looks that much like a young Patrick Stewart, but we're supposed to pretend they do. And the guy who played the grown-up Wesley in "Hide and Q" looked nothing like how Wil Wheaton looks as an adult. With casting, you can only approximate the in-story reality so much.
It's just a common trope in movies and TV for the same actor to play a relative.
I think it would have made more sense for Sela to have much darker hair, though. Assuming her Romulan father had dark hair like every other Romulan, then it would have been unlikely for Sela's hair to be as light as Tasha's. Of course, I know of real-life examples where that did actually happen, so whatever.

Yea, I think hair color change, eye color change, complexion. It just bugged me.
I would imagine that the TNG producers liked the visual of a blond Romulan because it was so exceptional and helped drive home the idea that Sela was half-human and related to Tasha Yar.
In the mirror universe, Armus is actually:
But that's even more evil!
Lorca in Demon form.
I actually feel bad for Armus when he lets out that scream of pure agony when Picard leaves.
To be honest, Sela had ears and the Romulan nose job. The family resemblence is there...
Fun sidenote in real life: Siri can't who can't tell which family members locked the phone either so the child could unlock the parent's phone: https://www.wired.com/story/10-year-old-face-id-unlocks-mothers-iphone-x/
Star Trek Continues cast the daughter of the actress who played the Romulan commander in "The Enterprise Incident" to play the same character in their series finale episodes, the resemblance is uncanny.
