They are legal terms used in many jurisdictions to describe different types of unlawful killings, each carrying different degrees of culpability and potential penalties. The specific definitions and classifications may vary from one country to another, but I’ll provide a general explanation based on common legal principles.
Murder: Murder is typically the most serious form of unlawful killing and involves the intentional and unlawful taking of another person’s life. The key elements of murder usually include:
a. Intent: The perpetrator must have had the intention to cause the death of the victim or cause grievous bodily harm that they knew was likely to result in death.
b. Unlawful act: The killing must have been carried out unlawfully, meaning it was not done in self-defence, defence of others, or any other legally justifiable circumstance.
c. Causation: There must be a direct causal link between the actions of the perpetrator and the death of the victim.
