Q: Discuss whether Wilma has committed murder and whether she has any defences to this charge.
Wilma suffered from a depressive condition causing occasional aggressive outbursts. Her relationship with her partner, Jake, was stormy. Jake frequently subjected Wilma to insults and threats.One day, Wilma returned home to find Jake in bed with Zohra. When Wilma asked what was going on, Jake replied that she was pathetic and that she should go back to the kitchen sink where she belonged. In fury, Wilma picked up the nearest object, a heavy pot, and threw it at Jake. It missed him, but hit Zohra who was knocked unconscious. Zohra was 24 weeks pregnant and went into premature labour. In the early hours of that night, Wilma killed Jake with an axe whilst he was asleep. Zohra’s baby was born alive, but died within a week.
