Threats to kill

Making a threat to kill someone is a serious offence and carries a maximum penalty of 10 years imprisonment.

It does not matter whether the person making the threat intends to kill; their intent has to be that the other person would fear that the threat would be carried out to kill them or another person.

It is not necessary for the person receiving the threat to be put in fear of injury.
