SIDI AHMAD AMIN BIN MAMAT

SIDI AHMAD AMIN BIN MAMAT

Prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case because it did not establish, to the required standard, that the accused's conduct caused the fatal abdominal aortic tear or that the injury was, in the ordinary course, sufficient to cause death; multiple assaults by others and plausible alternative causes created reasonable doubt, so the accused was discharged without being called to answer.
