What is the difference between murder and manslaughter?
The law surrounding murder and manslaughter is very complex, making it vitally important that the Solicitor you choose to represent you has a firm understanding of the differences and the legislation surrounding these crimes. In simple terms, murder is the unlawful killing of another person by someone of sound mind and discretion, while manslaughter is categorised by two types:
Voluntary manslaughter – this is the unlawful killing of another person by a reasonable person with no previous intent to kill.
Involuntary manslaughter – this refers to an unintentional killing, usually as a result of a negligent or reckless act.
Murder and manslaughter can result from many situations, including domestic violence, gang-related crime, assaults, cruelty and criminal negligence.
