In Denmark manddrab (manslaughter) is the term used by the Danish penalty law to describe the act of intentionally killing another person.
The standard punishment for manslaughter - i.e. where there are neither aggravating nor mitigating circumstances - is 12 years imprisonment.
If the perpetrator is sentenced to life in prison (livstid / livsvarig fængsel), 12 years must pass before they can file for probation.
