- HCMA657/2001
The Court allowed the appeals and quashed the convictions because, cumulatively, the equivocal letter of authorisation that could have induced the 2nd appellant, the unresolved and unreliable contemporaneous accounts of an alleged oral admission, the lengthy uncautioned period before the formal interview, the absence of adequate contemporaneous notebook entries and the long delay in preparing witness statements rendered the convictions unsafe.
