Similar fact evidence was properly admitted and could be used to infer participation and control in respect of the 1st applicant because the probative force and striking similarities made alternative explanations implausible; by contrast the evidence was not properly usable to sustain convictions of the 2nd and 3rd applicants because there was insufficient proof they were involved in the prior incident and inferences of knowledge/complicity were unsafe, so their convictions were quashed.
