Men, please, drink water from your own cistern.

We must admit men are becoming something else.

How is the word REASONABLE defined in this context? Most of these acts and murderous responses to jealous rage are done out of bruised ego. It is usually not because anyone has been harmed? And moreover a lot of people have experienced this kind of event and they have just simply walked away!

Trailblazer1:


Because the victim was a Yoruba and the killer an Igbo

You are so daf.t

qualityovenbake:
. I keep hearing this silly excuses and it's annoying.

sainttwist1:
pls, why is the woman in custody....what is her offence?

1stCitizen:


Please note that I am not arguing with you but lecturing you. Please keep your Arsenal analogy for the intellectually deficient few. Since you mentioned Arsenal, let me take the UK for an example.

The defence of provocation is found in the Homicide Act 1957.

"Provocation is some act, or series of acts done (now includes words)... which would cause in any reasonable person and actually causes in the accused, a sudden and temporary loss of self-control, rendering the accused so subject to passion as to make him or her for the moment not master of his or her mind."

The requirements of the defence of provocation under this Act 1957 are:


1. The defendant must have been provoked to lose their self control. Someone fvcking your wife on your bed and in your house is a provocation

2. The provocation must be such as to make a reasonable man do as the defendant did. Someone fvcking your wife on your bed and in your house is enough to make you do the unreasonable.

Note that there is no requirement in the Act 1957 that the provocative act was deliberate or aimed at the victim(Your ManU jersey example is dead on arrival). Some lawyers have even taken this further like a case of extreme noise causing the defendant to murder the noise maker

Like I said I would prefer you remain ignorant as it takes time to school others not willing to learn

pippimp:


So what of her? This might sound strange to you, but adultery is not a crime. If a man is s.tupid enough to commit murder because of infidelity, then he deserves whatever punishment comes after.

Kgdavid:


you are lecturing me?

ok mr google lecturer. Read to the end of the page on this link and come back with more lectures.

http://e-lawresources.co.uk/Provocation.php

note that the law you reference has been repealed.but let me not talk too much. just do yourself a favour and read to the end.

1stCitizen:


It is a pleasure to note that I have triggered you to do some course work which is part of lecturing(No wonder it took time to respond, you must be a slow reader) only that you have not learnt what the the sign " " means. It is usually thought at Kindergarten level.


It was a pleasure schooling you.

Kgdavid:


nope, sir lecturer who doesn't know what he is talking about... i'm actually just a person with a job

1stCitizen:


You failed to research where they mentioned context and suddenness which fits the case in question. I deliberately did not expatiate to allow you to do more research and come back....please do not spend eternity. The best method to teach.

Bants:
Why was the wife arrested...I don't get it...

Kgdavid:


you don't think he committed a crime or you think he could get away with telling a lie to cover a crime? because the two are not the same thing sir.

bellville:
If Igbokwe has good legal representation, the case would be manslaughter and not murder. He could use provocation as a defence. He can even be discharged if he's able to prove that he acted in self-defence.

Kgdavid:


i thought i asked you to read to the bottom of the page? must i do everything for you?? are you impaired in some way sir?

the conditions of the new law specifically state that .

as i said from the first time i quoted you, you are boldly going on about something you do not know anything about.

anyway those who want to know can check the link i posted.

sexual infidelity does not count as a triggering factor

josite:
if convicted for manslaughter, he goes to jail. Yes, I agree he should have exercised caution and simply get a divorce. However, we have different temperaments and level of self-control. Some men won't just walk away.



so if convicted for manslaughter,he will be allowed to go back home and sleep.getting yourself in prison over woman matter is the height of foolishness.now is he enjoying his life as usual in handcuff?.u catch a spouse in adultery,all an enlightened will do is ,end the marriage and ending the marriage is what the law of nigeria will not punish u for.

1stCitizen:




Why are you so slow to learn. Let us pretend that you never defined provocation as this last comment which is seeks to identify what constitutes provocation is diametrically opposed to that definition . I repeat during your lecture research did you not study the concept of suddenness and context of act in the case of sexual infidelity. Hurry along.... do some more research and return for evaluation....even slow learners learn.


HINT

"Sexual infidelity is not subject to a blanket exclusion"

Find out where this came from and read thoroughly. You must learn

nedu2000:
it happened in the accused bedroom for heaven's sake!!unless there's proof of kidnap he will walk free,i expect his wife to testify in his favor

Kgdavid:


nope. the best he can argue is extenuating circumstances but murder is murder.

the deceased was a guest in his home, invited by a co-owner of that home and had every legal right to be there, and every legal right to make love to the woman given that it was consensual. It's going to be very hard to get him a light sentence.

LuvU2:
I know riight

jackpiperr:
He should be released. He has the right to self defense in his property. I hope he gets a good lawyer to help him win the case . He came back from work and found an intruder raping his wife and he killed the man in self defense . case closed .

Charmarlegne:
your comment is not only funny, but worrying. I guess you are not married, that is probably why you would defend the deceased by quoting illegality as legal. Just know that any man sleeping with someone's wife and vice versa is walking on very thin ice. If this guy gets a good lawyer, he will get off with only manslaughter.The lawyer can argue that he gave the statement under duress. To the guys who Bleep people's wives, please respect the man small and go Bleep the wife in a hotel. Not her matrimonial bed. Nuff said.

Kgdavid:


you are a mad man if you think i'm going to sit here at my laptop and play with you all day.

Chiefpriest1:
Shame, shame , shame! On your matrimonial bed, that's the height of it.

By the way, I don't see all these children on nairaland reporting for NCAN
from Sambisa. Is it because both vocal tribes are involved?

Crime has no tribe. You guys should stop being kids
