I'm on the side of think that Raven killed the previous maiden because she didn't think she could cut it.

"She was scared when we found her! Weak. No matter how much training I put her through, she never learned! She wasn't cut out for this world! And with those powers, she would've been hunted her entire life! What I did-- "

Nothing in her speech suggested that the previous maiden was suicidal. The whole talk between Raven and Yang heavily implies that Raven killed her because she thought she was to weak to handle things.
