Question 14
14. After consecutively losing to B in a basketball game, A lost his temper and stabbed
B thrice, resulting in the latter’s death. Horrified, A went to the police station to
report the incident but did not disclose his identity as the culprit. After reporting the
incident, A went home. Meantime, the police officers made their own investigation
and got convinced that it was A who killed B. The police officers went to A’s house
and arrested him. During the trial, A admitted the killing but maintained that he
should be credited with the mitigating circumstance of voluntary surrender. Is A
correct? Reason(s).
