Homicide

Homicide is the deliberate killing of another person. If you or someone close to you is suspected of manslaughter, it is important to call in an expert lawyer. The lawyers at our firm have a great deal of experience in handling criminal cases, including manslaughter cases. Please contact us for assistance and advice.

 

Murder is punishable in art. 287 of the Penal Code. The legal text can be found below:

 

Article 287
A person who intentionally takes another person's life will be punished, as guilty of manslaughter , with imprisonment not exceeding fifteen years or a fifth category fine.

 

Punishment for manslaughter

Many people wonder what punishment a person can expect for manslaughter, but that question can never be answered just like that. Punishment is tailor-made. In the case of a conviction, the judge looks at all kinds of factors, such as the circumstances under which the offence was committed, the person of the suspect, the maximum sentence and judgments in similar cases. The lawyers at our firm can make a realistic assessment of a possible penalty, even if it is ultimately up to the court to make the decision.
