Homicide
Murder is a crime committed where the offender, of sound mind, unlawfully kills a human being having the intention to kill or cause them grievous bodily harm.
Manslaughter is an offence which falls below murder because the death arose without the requisite intention or where a partial defence applies –where death arose, for example, due to loss of control, the defendant's diminished responsibility or due to gross negligence. These are commonly referred to as voluntary and involuntary manslaughter.
