But in a more limited sense, it is always understood that the killing is by human agency, and Hawkins defines it to be the killing of a man by a man.Homicide may perhaps be described to be the destruction of the life of one human being, either by himself, or by the act, procurement, or culpable omission of another. When the death has been intentionally caused by the deceased himself, the offender is called felo de se; when it is caused by another, it is justifiable, excusable, or felonious. The person killed must have been born; the killing before birth is balled foeticide.
