1) What is difference between Murder and culpable homicide?
Ans:
- Culpable homicide is wider than the term murder. Culpable homicide is therefore considered as the genus while as murder is regarded as a species. All murders are culpable homicide but all culpable homicides are not regarded as murder.
- Murder is an aggravated form of culpable homicide.
- In murder, the offender has a definite knowledge that the act would result in the death while as in culpable homicide the knowledge is not so definite.
- The probability of causing death is higher in murder than culpable homicide.
