In second case, forsaker, based on law, contract or custom has had duty for preventing of effect of killing of incidence causes, if he/she abandons voluntarily with the intention of killing of victim his/her action, is murder and it will be included the article of 206 of Islamic Penal code. Islamic penal code with mentioning word of act in three parts of the article of 206 of Islamic penal code that means behavior, has accepted this sum duty and abandonment arising from it as murder crime.
