EXAMINATION QUESTIONS - CRIMINAL LAW

EXAMINATION QUESTIONS

David and Victoria had been married for several years. Victoria has suffered many years of violence and abuse from David as a consequence suffered from extreme depression. One evening on his way out of the house, David insulted Victoria, calling her hideous (ugly, revolting, dreadful) and revealed that he was having an affair with her sister. Feeling extremely depressed, Victoria drank a half bottle of whisky. A few hours later, David returned, and with a sneer, told her that he had a wonderful evening. Victoria picked up a bottle of whisky and intending to cause David serious injury hit him on the head. David died from the injuries sustained.

Discuss Victoria’s liability for homicide of David.
