Murder is the intentional killing of another, the "degree" of the act is largely dependent on circumstances surrounding the killing. (ie; reason, timing, planning etc.)
Manslaughter is the unintentional killing of another, again, the degree of manslaughter is dependent on the circumstances and manner of the killing.
