Suicide pact

A suicide pact is an agreed plan between two or more individuals to die by suicide. The plan may be to die together, or separately and closely timed.

In England and Wales, a suicide pact is a partial defense, under section 4 of the Homicide Act 1957, which reduces the charge of murder to manslaughter. In Northern Ireland, this defense is created by section 14] of the Criminal Justice Act (Northern Ireland) 1966 (c. 20) (N.I.).
