According to the department of criminal and justice there are high rising cases of homicides. A homicide is defined as an individual kills one another and there several categories of homicides. They include; manslaughter, murder, capital punishment killing in wars among others. They are treated as either crime or accepted by the legal system depending on the society in question. A criminal homicide has various kinds such as intentional or accidental murder and the crime committed is determined by the mental health status of the villain. In the United States, the felony murder rule states that an individual committing a felony maybe guilty of murder if a person, including the felony victim, co-felon or bystander dies as a consequence of their acts regardless of their intent.

            In the case study, Dr. Julius Hibbert a licensed medical practitioner who works in Sydney and some family issues such as divorce and losing custody of his children. This lead to development of depression which was also contributed by the financial constraints. The crime that he has committed is contributing to the causing of the death of Kalia a daughter of his client. This was through agreeing to involve in female genital mutilation whereby the patient bled profusely leading to huge amounts of blood being lost that lead to development of a comma. Kalia was placed in a lifesaving machine which was later turned off because the doctors recommended that nothing much could be done.

            However, the manslaughter was an accident (involuntary) because the doctor was not willing to perform the act since he was forced to perform and also his mental health was not alright during the procedure. The proof is health status, he was also willing to stop the bleeding using a substance but was denied by the family because of religious beliefs. On the other hand, the family had also a crime by being co-felon by authorizing the performance of the act that lead to the death of their child and even stopping the physician form stopping the death.

Actus reus elements

            These are defined as the external elements of a crime because they help in the analysis of the crime committed. The conduct crime Dr. Hibbert was involved in was performing the female genital mutilation which is against the law where he got the certification of practicing medicine. However in the court of law here must be provision of burden of proof to show that he was practicing the act at his facility which is hard to show because it was at the home of the victim. According to the law since the act was on executed at the medical facility rather at the home of the victim where it is legal because it helps prepare the daughter for marriage shows the prosecution has to lenient. Also, there is an element of voluntariness in the case study which also plays a role in the determination of the crime.

 

            Dr .Hibbert had volunteered to perform the female genital mutilation because to Kalia and her sister because their family wanted them to be ready for marriage and if he could not execute the act the family could perfume themselves which could be more dangerous. This because the family threatened to perform the exercise themselves without any medical assistance. After the victim had started bleeding profusely the doctor volunteered to use   Orgaran a hemostatic agent which was denied by Mrs. Karim because she knew it was derived from pigs which was against their religious beliefs.
