RESPONSIBILITY FOR BRUTAL, PREMEDITATED MURDER

Abstract

Willful murder, by its nature, is an enormous offence, but brutal murder committed with extreme cruelty exposes a highly
dangerous crime. The concept of brutal murder emphasizes not only inflicting suffering on a victim, but committing murder
with cruelty and extreme violence. It is necessary to determine the proper qualification, whether an offender planned
committing a murder with extreme cruelty. In any case, great attention is paid to the result and aggravating circumstances as
well. There are different ways of brutal murder: burning alive; inflicting deadly wounds on a body; inflicting moral damages
on a victim’s relatives; drowning; committing murder in the presence of a victim’s close relatives, etc.
