The normative research approach is descriptive, gathering evidence through literature analysis, and analyzing qualitatively by coming to deductive conclusions. Research findings and discussion; with the element of premeditation, a term of imprisonment for 20 years under Article 340 of the Criminal Code is more suitable because it was done on purpose and with advance planning. Conclusion of the study; 20-year prison sentence for the offender in violation of Article 340 of the Criminal Code.]]>
