KRISHNAN A/L CHANDRASAGARAN

KRISHNAN A/L CHANDRASAGARAN

Prosecution established a prima facie case and proved guilt beyond reasonable doubt: victim gave positive dock identification at close range corroborated by CCTV; stolen phone was recovered from accused's waist-bag and linked through police evidence and continuity of exhibits; discrepancies and procedural omissions raised by defence did not break the chain nor create reasonable doubt; accused's alibi and denials were uncorroborated and amounted to bare denial, therefore conviction under s.392 Kanun Keseksaan was warranted.
