What is Culpable Homicide

For more information, visit: https://www.lawdepot.com/?pid=pg-BFYM... Culpable homicide is a form of criminal homicide that can either indicate that there was or was not intent to kill a person, depending on the country it is used in. In Scotland, for example, culpable homicide typically indicates that the death occurred due to negligence or other actions that indicate a person’s responsibility for someone’s death. This usage is similar to manslaughter in the US and England, and can indicate that a death was caused purposefully or accidentally. In India, on the other hand, culpable homicide tends to indicate a purposeful killing, but can also be used to indicate crimes that do not satisfy India’s legal definition of murder.
