In simplest terms:
Murder is the intentional act of killing someone.
With Manslaughter you intentionally acted recklessly and caused death, but you were not intending to kill.
Homicide is a manner of death, meaning one person killed another. It can be a result of murder, manslaughter, even self-defence (called justifiable homicide).
