How did we get from Edward the Confessor's edict that murder - or rather 'murdrum' - should be a crime in English law in the 11th century to the definition of homicide in the 21st century, which covers a multitude of scenarios including manslaughter, corporate manslaughter, death by dangerous driving and questions of insanity and diminished responsibility? Lawyer and writer Kate Morgan is our guide on this dark and macabre journey as she unpicks and recounts the stories that have contributed to UK homicide law today - from the big corporate killer to the unknown, motley cast of vengeful spouses, sloppy doctors, abused partners and shoddy employers who have also contributed to its standing.
