criminal law question in the case where "a" has aimed a blow at "b" but the blow has gone astray and the blow has instead landed on "c" causing him serious injury to him,how will the courts go about deciding whether or not to convict "a" of assault or in the respect of the harm  he cuased to "c":zimbabwe situation: tobegin with,our law on deflected blow,aberratio ictus is clear as set outin the in the criminal and codification(reform)act which gives the court two approaches in deciding these kind of crimes.first section91(b)( of the act,points out that,a, is guilty of assaultin respect of c on the basis that he or sherealised that there was great danger or possibility thatbodily harm might becaused to a person.The courts in this case would deal with the mens rea which refers to the elements of the offence that acompanies the actus reus.they are four generalclasses of mens rea that is,intention,knowledge,recklessness and negligence.Nomatter whether the accused desired the consequent of his action or not.courts often considerwhether the actor did recognise the danger or he alternativelyought to have recognised a riskas seen in theEnglish case of Metropolitan Police Commissioner[1981]1aller961. for "a" to be convicted m of assaultin respect of "c" the stte must provethatb the accused forsaw,that in the sequence of events,thatb "c"might be assaulted or forsaw that he could cause serious injury to "c".This is also eluded in trhe case of SvNcube1983(2)zlr111(s) where Beck JA,in his judgement revealed that since there was no dolus of any kind ufficient to support a convictionof assaulting his brother with the intntion of doing him serious harm,therefore he is not guilty of assult.It is crystally clear therefore thatb the courts consider the intention and forseeability of causing serious bodily harm to "c"henceforth,the accused mens rea vis-a-vis his actual intention has to bedertemined to ensure and justifiable convict "c" of assault.
