Homicide is the category that murder and manslaughter fall under. Manslaughter is incidental, lacking deliberate or provable intent. Murder is deliberate and direct, but can be premeditated or spontaneous.

In simplest terms:

Murder is the intentional act of killing someone.

With Manslaughter you intentionally acted recklessly and caused death, but you were not intending to kill.

Homicide is a manner of death, meaning one person killed another. It can be a result of murder, manslaughter, even self-defence (called justifiable homicide).

Homicide – Any human being directly killing another human being.

Murder – An *intentional* and *illegal* act of homicide.

Manslaughter – An illegal but not necessarily intentional homicide.
