Resumen del Recurso
Murder
Actus Reus
1. Killing Causing death
Can be by an act or omission
Omission example R v Gibbons and Proctor
The Act or Omission must have caused V's death
Factual Causation
But For test
R vPagget
But for the defendant using his girlfriend as a human shield she would not have died
R v White
But for the defendant posioning his mothers drink she would have still died
Legal Causation
Operative and substantial cause test
R v Smith
The wound was the operative cause of death
Intervening Acts
Have to be sufficently serious and seperate from D's conduct
One of three things
i) Actions of a third party
such as bad medical treatment
R v Jordan
In order to break the chain the act must be papally wrong (medical treatment)
ii) Victims own actions
R V Roberts (did not break chain)
R v Williams (broke the chain)
R V Dear (didn't break chain)
iii) Natural but unpredictable event
Eg. Earthquake
Thin Skull Rule
R v Blaue
2. Unlawful
R v Martin
They were shot in the back so the threat had passed. so it was not self defence and unlawful
3. Under the Queen's Peace
civil Unrest is not a time of war
DPP v Clegg
4. Reasonable person in being
Start of life
Life begins when the baby is expelled from the womb
Attorney Generals reference (No 3 of 1994)
Transfered malice cannot therfore be used on a foetus
End of life
Life ends at Brain Stem death
R v Malchrek and Steel
Airedal NHS Trust V Bland
life sustaining treatment can be withdrawn if it is in the patents best interests
And with permission from the court
Mens Rea
Malice Aforethought either express or implied
Express malice means D intends to kill
Implied malice means D intends to cause GBH to another but actually cause death
DPP v Smith, GBH means really serious harm
Vickers- intention to cause GBH is enough for the jury to imply murder
With Direct or Indirect intention
Direct intention - R v Mohan
Indirect intention- Woolin
