喜樂美語
  1. 1

    Homicide is a formal, legal word for one person killing another person. It's a broad term used mostly by police, lawyers, and in the news - it covers both murder (planned, intentional killing) and manslaughter ( killing), though people usually just say 'murder' in everyday conversation. You'll often hear it in phrases like 'homicide detective', a police officer whose job is investigating killings.
