Convictions were quashed because the accused was deprived of a fair trial by material procedural defects — notably the magistrate's failure to hear an alibi witness who was clearly material to the defence, together with significant irregularities regarding counsel's withdrawal and the handling and absence of a clear ruling on the cautioned statement — necessitating a retrial.
