What are the six essential elements of a murder case?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from R. v. Bedford, 2005 CanLII 3985 (ON SC):
It is also convenient at this point to consider the sixth essential element, namely whether the accused did something that was “an essential, substantial and integral part” of the victim’s killing. This focuses on the accused’s own actions and requires him to play an active role in the victim’s killing, which usually also involves one or more acts of domination. Harbottle v. The Queen (1939), 1993 CanLII 71 (SCC), 84 C.C.C. (3d) 1 (S.C.C.)
