The Court held that the cautioned statements were properly admitted and voluntary, the trial judges were entitled to reject the applicants' evidence and to accept the police and civilian witnesses despite discrepancies, the forensic passport report did not undermine the verdicts given the strength of identification and circumstantial/confessional evidence, and therefore the convictions were not unsafe; sentencing was largely upheld except that concurrency was ordered for three years in CA152/95 to correct an identified error on sentence concurrency.
