Murder and Homicide

Murder vs Homicide


Murder - nag-effort ka talagang pumatay ng tao
  • with treachery and superior strength
  •  in consideration of a price/reward/promise or perhaps even profit
  • using really destructive means like fire, poison, explosions, motor vehicle assault, etc
  • while there is a natural or public calamity
  •  pag nag premeditate ka
  •  at pag inhumanly cruel at brutal ka, and you sneer at the person/corpse)
Homicide - pag nakapatay ka ng tao pero hindi present yung mga elements sa taas

Nahihirapan ako somewhat sa translation ng "pumatay ng tao" at "nakapatay ng tao" dito.

Take this for example. 

A killed B. (walang indication kung murder or homicide.) 

Now translate it into Filipino, at may dalawa o higit ka pang possible translation. 

Pinatay ni A si B. (possibly murder 'to)
Napatay ni A si B. (possibly homicide 'to)
