Given the totality of evidence — long acquaintance between PW2 and appellant, PW2's prior provision of name/telephone/photograph to police, the appellant's presence at the arranged meeting, and the witness's oral testimony about WhatsApp messages used to rebut recent fabrication — the magistrate properly treated the case as one of recognition, lawfully admitted the photograph and digital evidence for that limited purpose, and correctly concluded the prosecution proved identity and guilt beyond reasonable doubt; the appeal against conviction is dismissed.
