Abstract:

Murder and Culpable Homicide are similar to each other, but they are not identical to each other. Section 299 deals with Culpable Homicide and Section 300 explain the concept of Murder. There is a very thin difference between Murder and Culpable Homicide. It becomes difficult to differentiate between them because both concepts represent “The killing of death”. Murder defines that the intentionally killing of a human being which in itself is sufficient to cause the death of a person whereas Culpable Homicide explains that the act is done with the intention of causing death which is likely to ca

Abstract:

Dolus eventualis has correctly been described as an ‘enigma’. Not only has it been variously described by the courts, but the courts have applied the two-stage test without providing an in-depth analysis of what it means. Both dolus eventualis required for murder and conscious negligence required for culpable homicide, contain an element of subjective foresight of the remote possibility of death occurring. As a result, the distinction between murder and culpable homicide has become confused over the years, and is evident in the courts vacillating between findings of murder and culpable homicid

Abstract On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared covid-19—the disease caused by the novel coronavirus—a global pandemic. As this coronavirus spread throughout the world, most countries implemented restrictions on public gatherings that greatly limited religious communities’ ability to engage in collective worship. Some religious leaders objected to these regulations, opining that faith would spare their congregants from illness or that their religious freedom is paramount to public health. Meanwhile, growing numbers of covid-19 infections were being traced back to religious l

There is always a correlation between any trauma and disease that the trauma may have caused death or disease would have caused the death where the trauma may have been aggravated the disease process. This is very important in the aspect of legal system that the IPC sections may vary, and the role of a forensic surgeon to clarify it medically. Here is the case where the deceased died due to her pre-existing illness, which the alleged accused is not aware of, but the alleged accused is charged of murder under S 302 IPC instead of culpable homicide not amounting to murder under S 304 IPC.

Abstract:

Homicide is the most prevalent form of criminal offence in our country. It is also prevalent in other countries also. It is punishable under certain circumstances (Culpable Homicide) and not punishable under other circumstances (Excusable or justifiable Homicide). The punishment for homicide may be an imprisonment for life or even death sentence. A retrospective study was conducted on homicidal death in the Department of Forensic Medicine of Dinajpur Medical College. Above 300 cases were examined from January 2004 to December 2006 for 3 years. All the cases were referred from different police

<strong>Background: </strong>The most serious crime in human history—reported as early as in the Bible—is homicide. One of the main causes of unnatural deaths is homicide, which is defined as the killing of one human being by another. The most severe type of violence, responsible homicide, is a major health issue that is pervasive throughout the world. An act of culpable homicide might be committed for a variety of reasons. Because of increased urbanization, rising stress levels, unemployment, and drug addiction, there are more responsible homicides every day. The act of killi

On 30 January 2019, in a case involving a midwife who caused the death of a foetus, the Italian Supreme Court of Cassation established that the foetus during labour, while still within the maternal womb, is a human being with all associated rights (judgment number 27539). This claim has an obvious legal consequence: anyone causing the death of a foetus during labour is guilty not of culpable abortion but of culpable homicide. This ruling paves the way for legal and bioethical debate aimed at establishing the precise moment when a foetus is no longer a potential human being but an actual human

Abstract:

India is always proud of its democracy, secularism between and after so many years of Independence. However, ethos of marriage remains the same. Marriages tend to be a holy sacrament solemnized by families. In some of the cases, young innocent women are subjected to horrific and horrendous waves of massacring for choosing the life partner according to their wish and choice. Moreover, this choice makes the women vulnerable to the alleged supreme caste, religious group and old guards of the society. A killing in the name of honour inculcates torture and rejection of equalitarianism, which is a c

Abstract:

This article, focusing on road traffic homicides, considers the extent to which notions of culpability and blameworthiness influence the concept of causation. The article reviews the legal rules for determining causation in criminal cases and recognises how a jury's perception of fairness can be determinative. It concludes by questioning the wisdom of leaving emotive moral value judgements to a randomly selected jury.

Este trabajo analiza el filme dramático de cine negro y crimen Chained for life, basado muy libremente en aspectos de la vida de las hermanas Daisy y Violet Hilton, gemelas unidas pigópagas. Interpretado por ellas, narra la historia de una hermana siamesa que mata a su marido y el juicio al que es sometida. El jurado debe dictaminar, de ser declarada culpable de homicidio en primer grado si a su hermana le cabe la misma pena.

La crueldad de este crimen, que tiene a la madre del niño y a su pareja como responsables, las torturas y la violencia sexual a la que fue sometido marcaron algunos de los ejes abordados en la construcción mediática del acontecimiento.

Abstract:

Dolus eventualis has correctly been described as an ‘enigma’. Not only has it been variously described by the courts, but the courts have applied the two-stage test without providing an in-depth analysis of what it means. Both dolus eventualis required for murder and conscious negligence required for culpable homicide, contain an element of subjective foresight of the remote possibility of death occurring. As a result, the distinction between murder and culpable homicide has become confused over the years, and is evident in the courts vacillating between findings of murder and culpable homicid

In responding to the Williams Review into gross negligence manslaughter in a medical setting, the Medical Protection Society called for English law to adopt the approach currently relied upon in Scotland. This article provides an overview of culpable homicide, before considering how any novel offence based on Scots law could be introduced in England and Wales. The benefits of culpable homicide over gross negligence manslaughter are addressed, with consideration of whether existing medical cases would attract punishment under any novel offence.

Abstract:

Abstract Decades before Canada abolished the death penalty, it removed infanticide from the Criminal Code’s offences punishable by death. In 1948, this form of culpable homicide became punishable by imprisonment up to a maximum of three years. Although this statutory invention has been linked to the post-war rise in the pathologization of women’s violence and tied to legislators’ concerns over jury nullification, its nexus with the death penalty’s abolition has been overlooked. If the prospect of capital punishment did not deter women from killing their newborns, could the death penalty be jus

Abstract:

This research investigated cases of femicide in Great Britain where perpetrators claimed that victims died in “sex games gone wrong.” Forty-three femicides that resulted in a conviction for murder, manslaughter, or culpable homicide were examined in relation to victim–perpetrator sociodemographic characteristics, victim–perpetrator relationship, homicide details, and criminal justice outcomes. Key patterns within the data were identified. The research highlights that the “sex game gone wrong” narrative has gained traction against a cultural backdrop of normalized bondage, domination, and sadom
