Germany has another (unique and different to the neighbours) distinction between "Mord" and "Totschlag" (both are translated to "murder" in my English version of the law). The former requires one additional criterion from a list to be fulfilled. These are dark motives (killing for killing's sake, sexual satisfaction, greed, hate, honour killings, or similar), reprehensible manner (treacherous, cruel, or with means dangerous to the public), and to facilitate or cover up another crime. This distinction is pretty out of place in German criminal law but plans to change them move very slow.
