Difference between Murder and Manslaughter
Difference between Murder and Manslaughter
Murder is unlawful homicide with malice aforethought. Manslaughter is unlawful homicide without malice aforethought. The term aforethought doesn't necessarily imply pre meditation, but implies intention which must necessarily precede the act intended. Amayo v State (2001) 18NWLR (Pt.745) 251
