WORDS FOR KILLING DIFFERENT PEOPLE

If you are into crime documentaries and such, you might find this interesting. If this topic makes you uncomfortable, please ignore this and move on. :)

Episcopicide: Killing of bishops

Filicide: Killing of one's own child

Fraticide: Killing one's brother

Gynaecide: Killing of women

Mariticide: Killing or killer of one's husband

Neonaticide: Killing or killer of a newborn infant

Parenticide: Killing or killer of one's parents

(With the last 2,

one is killing your parents or someone killing your parents, the other is killing parents, in general. Just thought I'd clear that up)
