(1) Any person shall be regarded as having committed a crime as a principal criminal and punished as such if:
(a) he actually commits the crime either directly or indirectly, in particular by means of an animal or a natural force; or
(b) he without performing the criminal act itself fully associates himself with the commission of the crime and the intended result; or
(c) he employs an infant or a person who is mentally deficient or unaware of the circumstances, for the commission of a crime or compels another person to commit a crime.

(3) Where two or more persons are involved as principal criminals in the commission of a crime, each shall be liable to the punishment attaching thereto.
