Article 241Robbery or Non-Consensual Sexual Intercourse; Causing Death Thereby

第二百四十一条(強盗・不同意性交等及び同致死)

If a person who commits the crime of robbery or an attempt thereof also commits the crime prescribed under Article 177 or an attempt thereof, or a person who commits the crime prescribed under that Article or an attempt thereof also commits the crime of robbery or an attempt thereof, that person is punished by imprisonment for life or for a definite term of 7 years or more.

強盗の罪若しくはその未遂罪を犯した者が第百七十七条の罪若しくはその未遂罪をも犯したとき、又は同条の罪若しくはその未遂罪を犯した者が強盗の罪若しくはその未遂罪をも犯したときは、無期又は七年以上の拘禁刑に処する。

In the case referred to in the preceding paragraph, if the crimes that were committed were attempted crimes, the punishment may be reduced, except when the person thereby causes the death or injury of another person; provided, however, that the voluntary abandonment of commission of either crime leads to the punishment being reduced or the offender being exempted.

前項の場合のうち、その犯した罪がいずれも未遂罪であるときは、人を死傷させたときを除き、その刑を減軽することができる。ただし、自己の意思によりいずれかの犯罪を中止したときは、その刑を減軽し、又は免除する。

A person who, by commission of an act that constitutes the crime referred to in paragraph (1), causes the death of another person, is punished by the death penalty or imprisonment for life.

第一項の罪に当たる行為により人を死亡させた者は、死刑又は無期拘禁刑に処する。
