Also it seems to be more popular on a Google search:
ucide: 8,160 results / "a ucide": 1,400
omori: 5,080 results / "a omorî": 356
at "omorî", both versions (with diacriticals and without) were added

Just wondering. What is the link between "Omorît" (killed) and "mort"
(dead man) ? Their pronounciation is quite similar.
