The number of defendants prosecuted and convicted for murder and manslaughter is published up to December 2017 and available in the Outcomes by Offence data tool available here: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/733981/outcomes-by-offence-tool-2017-update.xlsx

Detailed information on the nationality of the defendant/offender and victim may be held on court record but to be able to identify these cases we would have to access individual court records which would be of disproportionate cost.
