    Depends on the jurisdiction. Some places call homicide without premeditation “manslaughter”. Colloquially, murder has intent.

      I agree that it depends on the jurisdiction, but manslaughter is usually unintentionally killing someone. Killing someone intentionally without having planned it is usually still murder.
