| Knowledge | The act is done with such knowledge and in such circumstances that the perpetrator must know it is so imminently dangerous that it must, in all probability, cause death or such bodily injury that is likely to cause death. | The perpetrator is aware that their actions are likely to result in death, even if death was not the primary intent. |
| Intent | The act is committed with a clear intention to cause death or cause bodily injury that the perpetrator knows is likely to cause death. | The act is done with the intention of causing death, causing such bodily injury that is likely to cause death, or with the knowledge that the act is likely to cause death. |
| Circumstances and Exceptions | Aggravating Factors: It includes situations where the act is committed with premeditation, with extreme recklessness, or with cruel intentions. | Mitigating Factors: It includes situations where the act is committed without premeditation or in the heat of the moment, such as during sudden and grave provocation.
