A charge of murder means the offender pre-planned (pre-meditated) the killing and did it on purpose (with criminal intent). Homicide just means someone killed another person. It may have been an accident or from negligence, in which the offender would still get a prison sentence, just not as harsh if he was found to be guilty of murder.
