What is Attempted Murder?

Under section 24 of the Criminal Code, an “attempt” is defined as everyone who, having an intent to commit an offence, does or omits to do anything for the purpose of carrying out the intention. Attempted murder, then, is someone who has intent to commit murder and engages in actions for the purpose of carrying out murder. There mere thought of committing murder is not enough. The person must have actively tried to carry out their plan. The Criminal Code does not describe specific actions that would constitute attempted murder. Instead, the Courts will look at all the evidence in the case, including factors such as the presence of a motive and purchase and possession of a weapon, to determine whether the accused attempted to commit murder. In addition, the Crown must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that at the time of the offence, the accused had specific intent to kill another person.

Punishment for Attempted Murder

Attempted murder is a very serious offence in Canada. A conviction on an attempted murder charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. If the offence is committed using a restricted or prohibited firearm in connection with organized crime, a minimum sentence of five years in prison will be imposed in case of a first offence and if committed with any other type of firearm, there is a minimum sentence of four years in prison. In all other cases, there is no minimum punishment but the maximum sentence of imprisonment for life applies.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A True Defender in and out of the Courtroom As a deployed soldier, I never imagined I'd be fighting a battle back home—a legal one, brought on by false accusations from an ex-partner. In a country I serve to protect, I found myself suddenly needing protection. That’s when Ms. Ines Gavran entered the picture—and I can honestly say, I do not know where I would be without her. Referred to me by another respected lawyer in Ottawa, Ines proved to be the best decision I could’ve made. She is not only a brilliant trial lawyer but a force to be reckoned with in court. Her preparation is meticulous, her strategy razor-sharp, and her passion for justice burns through every step she takes. She fought relentlessly for me and secured a full acquittal—something I feared might never be possible. Her courtroom presence is powerful—her cross-examinations exposed all the lies and inconsistencies. Outside of court, she was my calm and steady guide, offering excellent advice and support. I truly felt protected with her by my side. She became the armour I needed during an attack on my name, my freedom, and my future. Ines is the perfect balance: aggressive when the fight demands it, composed and easygoing when strategy calls for calm. Not once did she back down, even when the odds were against us. Her energy, intelligence, and sheer determination to win are rare qualities. She truly cares about her clients, and that comes through in everything she does. If you're in Toronto or anywhere in Ontario and need legal help—do yourself a favour and call Ms. Gavran. She will not disappoint. She fights like your freedom depends on it—because to her, it does. I’ll be forever grateful.
