Intentional homicide means killing a human being willfully and illegally. That means the intent was to cause death or serious injury, but not necessarily that it was planned beforehand. This is a wider concept than murder, for which also planning and other criteria are considered. It excludes attempted homicide, justifiable self-defence, assisted suicide, euthanasia, and abortion.
