The conviction was safe: the forensic fibre evidence, supported by probability statistics and the circumstantial chain, sufficiently linked the appellant to the victim at the time of death; statements to the psychiatrist obtained under drugs were inadmissible; the trial judge's omission to define murder elements was a technical error but non-prejudicial in the circumstances, so the appeal was dismissed.
