The evidence proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused intentionally and unlawfully killed both victims. The accused's actions were premeditated, targeted defenceless women, and showed no immediate remorse. Extenuating circumstances existed but did not outweigh the gravity of the offences. The accused was found guilty on both counts of murder and sentenced to forty years imprisonment on each count, to run concurrently.
