Procedural Posture

Criminal Murder (section 302 Penal Code) / Conviction and Sentencing

  1. 1 Whether prosecution proved death and causal injury amounting to murder under s302
  2. 2 Whether the neck compression was homicidal and not self-inflicted
  3. 3 Whether accused's conduct and statements together with DNA evidence establish guilt

Ratio Decidendi

Court Disposition

Guilty; convicted under Section 302 Penal Code

Orders

  • Convicted under Section 302 Penal Code
