The crime of murder is unlawful homicide: the act of killing another human being with malicious intent. It is this intent, particularly when it demonstrates premeditation, which distinguishes murder from accidents and from manslaughter, which in Anglo-American law is unlawful homicide through negligence or otherwise without specific malicious intent.
