CATEGORY OF HOMICIDE
- Murder:
The intentional and unlawful killing of another person with malice aforethought, which means the perpetrator had the intent to cause death or cause grievous bodily harm that resulted in death. - Manslaughter:
The unlawful killing of another person without malice aforethought, often categorized into two types:
• Voluntary Manslaughter: The killing occurs in the heat of passion or in response to provocation.
• Involuntary Manslaughter: The killing results from reckless behavior or negligence, without intent to cause death. - Justifiable Homicide:
The killing is deemed legally justified, typically in cases of self-defense or defense of others.
It’s important to understand that the term “homicide” itself does not imply guilt or innocence; it merely denotes the act of killing another person. Whether a homicide is considered lawful or unlawful, and the specific legal consequences, depend on the circumstances and the applicable laws in a particular jurisdiction.
