Murder is the unlawful killing of a human being with "malice aforethought." [1] Cases involving multiple murders may be known as any of the following:
- mass murder
- serial murder (or, more informally, killing sprees)
- genocide
Murder in the Bible
The supposed "first murder" occurs in Genesis 4 
, in which Cain slays his brother Abel and is cursed by God for doing so.
Believers tend not to ascribe the term murder to the many killings committed by God in the Bible.
