These crimes include murder, attempted murder, manslaughter, and infanticide. A conviction for these offences can result in severe consequences.

Attempted Murder
The act of trying to carry out a plan of murder. The intention to take a life is enough for charges to be laid.
First-Degree Murder
A killing that is planned and deliberate, such as a contract killing.
Homicide
Can be culpable or non-culpable and includes infanticide, manslaughter, and first and second-degree murders.
Infanticide
A law that is specific to women. When a mother causes the death of her newborn child by a wilful act or omission.
Manslaughter
Committing an unlawful act that causes the death of another person. The homicide is not planned, and there is no intent to kill.
