None. They are both "the killing of a human being by a human being"
Murder is Homicide but Homicide is not always Murder.

Homicide also includes accidental death where there is no intent to kill.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homicide
When I asked on another place,why 'Homophobia'' didn't mean 'Fear of Man' I was told that 'Homo' doesn't mean Man but The Same. Another good reason for getting rid of these Greek and Latin words and using Anglo-Saxon.
Well, Brionon, both 'man' and 'fear' originated in the Old Teutonic language, so - if we're to chuck out Latin and Greek source-words - we'd surely need to get rid of them, too!
In fact, English would be utterly impoverished if we ever did any such thing, since it is a language awash with such borrowings.
I thought one was British and one was American!
