[F., fr. L. homicidium, fr. homicida a
man slayer; homo man + caedere to cut, kill. See {Homage},
and cf. {Concise}, {Shed}, v. t.]
1. The killing of one human being by another.
Note: Homicide is of three kinds: justifiable, as when the
killing is performed in the exercise of a right or
performance of a duty; excusable, as when done,
although not as duty or right, yet without culpable or
criminal intent; and felonious, or involving what the
law terms malice; the latter may be either manslaughter
or murder. --Bouvier.
2. One who kills another; a manslayer. --Chaucer. Shak.
