On August 14, the Propaganda Department of Dingzhou Municipal Committee of Baoding, Hebei Province issued a warning notice. 10 At 20 o'clock on the evening of August 20, four minors in Dingzhou deceived one person to the rooftop of the community because of trivial matters, and strangled and burned the body after being beaten.
What legal responsibilities should minors bear for killing and burning corpses?
First of all, it is necessary to make clear a common sense of law: juvenile delinquency in law refers to crimes committed by people above 14 and below 18.
(1) If a person under the age of 14 commits a crime as stipulated by law, it will not be deemed as a crime and he does not need to bear any criminal responsibility.
(2) However, those who have reached the age of 14 but have not reached the age of 16 need to bear criminal responsibility for eight specific acts stipulated by law.
(3) Those who have reached the age of 16 but under the age of 18 shall bear criminal responsibility for all criminal acts stipulated by law.
(4) But as long as a minor commits a crime, he should be given a lighter or mitigated punishment in law.
According to the criminal law of our country, except for killing others in self-defense, intentionally and illegally depriving others of their lives constitutes the crime of intentional homicide and should be severely punished by law.
Minors are young and energetic, lack consideration in doing things, and often hurt people with knives. If you continue to commit murder knowing that your actions will lead to the death of others, it constitutes the crime of intentional homicide. Will be severely punished by law.
