dc.description.notesThis paper discusses the implications of Meyers v The Queen, a homicide case where the appellant was convicted for the murder of his girlfriend. The High Court’s decision was based on the doctrine of temporal coincidence between actus rea and mens rea along with the physical evidence available. This approach ignores the previous history of abuse and the victimisation of several women who are killed by their partners. A number of alternatives are proposed to avoid considering the temporal coincidence doctrine, including the creation of a new offence that covers the causing of death in the context of domestic violence.en
