Mistake as to the person

Cap. 101, s. 123 · Revised Edition 2020

Where a sufficient provocation has been given to the accused person by one person and he kills another person under the belief on reasonable grounds that the provocation was given by him, the provocation shall be admissible for reducing the crime to manslaughter in the same manner as if it had been given by the person killed, but except as in this section mentioned, provocation given by one person is not a provocation to kill a different person.
