Sul vocabolario è scritto che l'omicidio è la soppressione di una vita umana ad opera di un altro essere umano.

Ogni storia di un crimine è unica, ma ci sono casi che più di altri hanno segnato un'epoca, quando la spinta ad uccidere ha tratto origine da dinamiche personali, più o meno comprensibili, più o meno folli. Odio e gelosia, profitto e piacere…, lame e veleni.
