Attempting murder carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment in the UK, which is determined by the severity of the case and takes into account factors like intent, premeditation, the degree of harm caused, and the use of weapons. The sentence usually ranges from 10 to 25 years, but life imprisonment is more likely in cases involving extreme violence or aggravating circumstances.
