Murder & Manslaughter are serious offenses under the Criminal Code of Canada. A conviction can attract a lengthy jail sentence and in some instance, life imprisonment. The common reference for these charges is the broad term, “homicide.”

Homicide has three categories:

  • First Degree Murder: it is where one intentionally plans to take the life of another. It requires deliberation and planning. If committed along with other offenses, it will be added to one’s charges.
  • Second Degree Murder: in this, the killing is intentional but not premeditated. It is also a charge when one through dangerous acts results in the death of another.
  • Manslaughter: where a person commits a crime without the intention of ending one’s life, even though, there was the intention of harming.

Homicide cases require attention to detail and dedication which Grewal Law, criminal Lawyers in Brampton, offer. Feel free to get in touch at:
