I recommend that you start with oxforddictionaries dot com and then go to wikipedia for these things, to understand the meanings of these various English words. Of course, for the full legal meanings, you would have to dig even deeper (and that would vary according to particular country), but as most of us (presumably) are not lawyers, going deeper will not be necessary.
"Killing" is probably the most neutral word, so you might want to keep it handy for future use.
