[Rev. 2012] Penal Code CAP. 63 212. Procedure where woman convicted of capital offence alleges she is pregnant (1) Where a woman convicted of an offence punishable with death alleges that she is pregnant, or where the court before whom she is so convicted thinks fit so to order, the question whether or not the woman is pregnant shall, before sentence is passed on her, be determined by the trial judge. (2) The question whether the woman is pregnant or not shall be determined by the judge on such evidence as may be laid before him on the part of the woman or on the part of the Republic, and the judge shall find that the woman is not pregnant unless it is proved affirmatively to his satisfaction that she is pregnant. (3) Where in proceedings under this section the judge finds that the woman in question is not pregnant, the woman may appeal to the Court of Appeal, and that Court, if satisfied that for any reason the finding should be set aside, shall quash the sentence passed on her and instead thereof pass on her a sentence of imprisonment for life. (4) If for any reason whatsoever the trial judge is unable to sit for the purpose of determining the question whether or not the woman is pregnant, then some other judge of the High Court shall sit and determine that question. [Act No. 24 of 1967, Sch.] 213. Causing death defined A person is deemed to have caused the death of another person although his act is not the immediate or the sole cause of death in any of the following cases— (a) if he inflicts bodily injury on another person in consequence of which that other person undergoes surgical or medical treatment which causes death. In this case it is immaterial whether the treatment was proper or mistaken, if it was employed in good faith and with common knowledge and skill; but the person inflicting the injury is not deemed to have caused the death if the treatment which was its immediate cause was not employed in good faith or was so employed without common knowledge or skill; (b) if he inflicts bodily injury on another which would not have caused death if the injured person had submitted to proper surgical or medical treatment or had observed proper precautions as to his mode of living; (c) if by actual or threatened violence he causes such other person to perform an act which causes the death of such person, such act being a means of avoiding such violence which in the circumstances would appear natural to the person whose death is so caused; (d) if by any act or omission he hastened the death of a person suffering under any disease or injury which apart from such act or omission would have caused death; (e) if his act or omission would not have caused death unless it had been accompanied by an act or omission of the person killed or of other persons.
