A intentionally causes Z’s death, partly by illegally omitting to give Z food, and partly
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
by beating Z. A has committed murder.

null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
co-operates in the commission of that offence by doing any one of those acts, either singlyor jointly with any other person, commits that offence.

(a) A and B agree to murder Z by severally and at different times giving him small doses
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
of poison. A and B administer the poison according to the agreement with intent to murder Z.Z dies from the effects the several doses of poison so administered to him. Here A and Bintentionally cooperate in the commission of murder and as each of them does an act bywhich the death is caused, they are both guilty of the offence though their acts are separate.

null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null

(b) A and B are joint jailors, and as such have the charge of Z, a prisoner, alternatively
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
for six hours at a time. A and B, intending to cause Z’s death, knowingly co-operate incausing that effect by illegally omitting, each during the time of his attendance, to furnish Zwith food supplied to them for that purpose. Z dies of hunger. Both A and B are guilty of themurder of Z.
null
null
null
null
null
null

(c) A, a jailor, has the charge of Z, a prisoner. A, intending to cause Z’s death, illegally
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
null
omits to supply Z with food; in consequence of which Z is much reduced in strength, but thestarvation is not sufficient to cause his death. A is dismissed from his office, and B succeedshim. B, without collusion or co-operation with A, illegally omits to supply Z with food,knowing that he is likely thereby to cause Z’s death. Z dies of hunger. B is guilty of murder,but, as A did not co-operate with B. A is guilty only of an attempt to commit murder.
