HOMICIDE

TEN MCQ: ON HOMICIDE: HOMICIDE CASES “Homicide” is not always a crime. It is simply the act of the killing of a human being by another human being. Homicide can be divided into three categories: (a) Justifiable (b) Excusable and (c) Criminal. Although the police is primarily concerned with the third type, determining that the cause of death was by a criminal act usually involves eliminating the first two categories of homicides. Felonious injuries and criminal homicides are viewed as among the most serious offences committed in our society. The seriousness is reflected in all state statutes, which impose severe penalties for acts resulting into the death of human being. It is therefore appropriate that, investigation has to be pursued with all seriousness and see that the culprits are brought to book by proper collection, evaluation of evidence, establishing the link between the crime and offender and by adducing evidence in court of law. Homicide investigations are multi-disciplinary in the sense that the authority to investigate a homicide case is shared among police, specialized units like clues team etc., forensic science laboratory technicians and medical professionals. It is the responsibility of the investigating officer to have liaison with these teams and find out a way for successful investigations and prove the guilt of the accused and get him punished in the court of law. The successful investigation of a homicide case depends on basic investigating principles such as proving the death crime scene, documentation of the offence, handling of the deceased, profiling of the offender for identification and observations are to be made through out the investigation process. Generally, homicide is coupled with aggravated assault, rape, for property, for revenge and so on, since it has the individual rather than the property as it is focused. It is overwhelmingly committed by a single individual upon single individual or by a mob / group upon another as the case may be. LEGAL PROVISIONS Section 299 IPC – Culpable homicide – Whoever causes death by doing an act with the intention of causing death, or with the intention of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, or with the knowledge that he is likely by such act to cause death, commits the offence of culpable homicide.

Section 301 IPC – Culpable homicide by causing death of person other than person whose death was intended – If a person, by doing anything which he intends or knows to be likely to cause death, commits culpable homicide by causing the death of any person, whose death he neither intends nor knows himself to be likely to cause, the culpable homicide committed by the offender is of the description of which it would have been if he had caused the death of the person whose death he intended or knew himself to be likely to cause. Section 302 IPC – Punishment for murder – Whoever commits murder shall be punished with death, or imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to fine. Section 303 IPC – Punishment for murder by life convict – Whoever, being under sentence of imprisonment for life, commits murder, shall be punished with death. Section 304 IPC – Punishment for culpable homicide not amounting to murder – Whoever commits culpable homicide not amounting to murder, shall be punished with imprisonment for life, or imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, and shall also be liable to fine, if the act by which the death is caused is done with the intention of causing death, or of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death; Or with imprisonment of either description for a term which may extend to ten years, or with fine, or with both, if the act is done with the knowledge that it is likely to cause death, but without any intention to cause death, or to cause such bodily injury as is likely to cause death.
