Osiris, the ancient Egyptian god of the afterlife, resurrection, and agriculture, is primarily associated with the cycle of life, death, and rebirth. He has the power to judge the souls of the deceased, determining their fate in the afterlife. Additionally, Osiris is linked to fertility and the growth of crops, symbolizing regeneration and the seasonal cycles. His resurrection after being killed by Set underscores themes of renewal and eternal life.

No, Osiris did not kill anyone. In Egyptian mythology, Osiris is primarily known as the god of the afterlife, resurrection, and agriculture, and he is often associated with fertility and renewal. He was murdered by his brother Set, who was envious of Osiris's power. Osiris's death ultimately led to his resurrection, reinforcing themes of rebirth and eternal life in Egyptian belief.

Anubis was not replaced. According to ancient Egyptian mythology he was god of the dead, responsible for determining the afterlife of the deceased, and Osiris was made lord of the underworld, presumably in charge of overseeing those afterlives.

Egyptian myth does not say.
Anubis would weigh the heart of the deceased with the feather of Ma'at; if the deceased was wicked Ammit would devour him or her; if the heart balanced with the feather Osiris pronounced judgement and the deceased would be allowed to go to Aaru; Anubis would journey with them there.
Thoth, the god of writing and wisdom, recorded every Ka spirit's judgment in the judgment hall of Osiris. He was responsible for keeping track of the deeds of the deceased and their final judgment in the afterlife.
Osiris presided over a type of "hearing" for the dead. At the the first part of the hearing -the "negative confession"- the deceased could declare himself free of sin, and attempt to fool the gods. Also, there was the belief that simply saying one was free of sin made one free of sin. The second part of the hearing was presided over by Thoth, god of of wisdom, thought, and reason. Thoth weighed the heart of the deceased against an ostrich feather, which was the symbol of Mayet, the god of truth and justice. If the person was free of sin/ pure, then the heart weighed the same as the feather. The deceased was then brought before Osiris, who declared the verdict.
Osiris was Isis' husband (in the Ennead).
