Q.What does Article 214 of the Criminal Code say?

Article 214 of the Criminal Code (Cap. 9) establishes that any person who causes the death of another is guilty of homicide. The provision distinguishes between wilful homicide — punishable by imprisonment for life — and involuntary homicide, where the penalty reflects the degree of negligence established at trial.

Article 215(1) further qualifies the circumstances under which wilful homicide is treated as murder with premeditation, attracting the maximum sentence available under Maltese criminal law.
