The court could not safely rely on the appellant's alleged on-scene admission that he carried the knife for self-defence; once that confession was treated as doubtful, the remaining circumstantial evidence did not prove beyond reasonable doubt that the appellant possessed the fruit knife with intent to use it as an offensive weapon, therefore the conviction was unsafe and was quashed.
