Act 9 Penal Code Act 2008 “A” and “B” both administer the poison according to the agreement with intent to murder “Z”. “Z” dies from the effect of the several doses of poison so administered to him or her. Under these facts, “A” and “B” intentionally cooperate in the commission of murder and, as each of them does one or more of the several acts by which death is caused, they are both guilty of the offence, though their acts are separate and though the acts of one without the acts of the other would not have caused death. (b) “A” and “B” are joint jailors and each has charge of “Z”, a prisoner alternately for six hours at a time. “A” and “B”, intending to cause “Z’s”’ death, knowingly cooperate, by illegally omitting to furnish “Z” with food supplied to them for that purpose during the time of their respective attendance. “Z” dies of hunger. Both “A” and “B” are guilty of the murder of “Z”. (c) “A” a jailor has the charge of “Z” a prisoner. “A” intending to cause “Z’s” death illegally omits to supply “Z” with food. As a consequence, “Z” is significantly weaker, but still alive. “A” is dismissed from his or her office and “B” succeeds him or her. “B” without collusion or cooperation with “A” illegally omits to supply “Z” with food, knowing that he or she will probably cause “Z’s” death. “Z” dies of hunger. “B” is guilty of murder; but as “A” did not cooperate with “B” “A” is guilty only of an attempt to commit murder. 51. Persons Concerned in Criminal Act May be Guilty of Different Offences. Where more than one person is engaged or concerned in the commission of an offence, each may be guilty of a different offence depending on their individual actions. 44
