Culpable homicide is considered murder in several circumstances, particularly when the accused intends to cause death or serious bodily harm likely to result in death. This also includes situations where the accused, with criminal intent, accidentally causes the death of another person. Furthermore, homicide is also classified as murder when the accused commits an unlawful act likely to cause death, even if there was no intent to kill. Murders are categorized into two types: first-degree murder, which involves premeditation or planning, and second-degree murder, which refers to intentional but unplanned acts, often committed impulsively or in a sudden fit of anger.
