The appeal is allowed because the magistrate failed to give adequate reasons for admitting the appellant's verbal admission and post‑record and failed adequately to address material challenges to PW1 and PW2's ability to observe the appellant; the admitted fresh evidence undermined the credibility of the crucial eyewitness evidence and rendered the conviction unsafe, therefore the conviction is quashed.
