Tories to Pledge Homicide Law Overhaul with US-Style Classifications

The Conservative party, led by Rishi Sunak, is set to announce a significant overhaul of homicide laws in their upcoming manifesto. The proposed changes will include the introduction of US-style classifications for murder, such as first- and second-degree murder. Additionally, the minimum sentence for murders committed in the home will be increased from 15 to 25 years under the new proposal. These reforms aim to bring about a more structured and stringent approach to dealing with homicide cases in the UK.
