Given the appellant's admissions of ownership and responsibility, his presence and role in the pharmacy, the quantity and insecure storage of Schedule 1 poisons, and the absence of tested exculpatory evidence, the only reasonable inference beyond reasonable doubt was that he was responsible for the improper storage; conviction is therefore safe, but the original sentence of 3 months immediate imprisonment was disproportionate and was substituted with a fine of HK$50,000.
