Court
Court of Appeal
Case number
C of A (CRI) 5 of 2007
Convictions of accused 1, 2, and 5 were not justified due to insufficient admissible evidence and improper reliance on hearsay and uncorroborated accomplice testimony. Accused 3 and 4 were properly convicted based on identification, corroborated accomplice evidence, and ballistic evidence, but extenuating circumstances warranted reduction of sentence from death to 20 years imprisonment. Accused 6 was guilty only as accessory after the fact, not murder, and sentence reduced to 3 years imprisonment.
