The document provides a detailed outline surrounding the law of homicide. It begins by addressing the elements forming the actus reus of homicide. This part includes the outline of an offence distinctive from homicide, namely murder and approaches the difference from homicide and the elements that need to be required for murder to arise. The issue of the mandatory life sentence is also provided, and then continues with the outline of voluntary manslaughter and underpinning potential defences that could arise for the offence. The partial-defences are also addressed in the context of 21st century. The document also discusses the new law of provocation and contains comparisons between different defences, as well as the relevant tests to be met. Subsequently, the document also outlines involuntary manslaughter and analyses each of its types in turn. Landmark cases are also analysed in relation to each of the offences and their specific elements. Finally, the reform of homicide is discussed in relationship to murder and manslaughter, and also outlines the key problems and background of the reform process.
