The conviction was affirmed because the cumulative circumstantial evidence formed a complete and irresistible chain: the accused led police to concealed items belonging to the victim (admissible under s27/s8), DNA on seized items linked them to the deceased, credible independent recognition by SP15 placed the accused near the scene, and the alibi was unreliable and inconsistent with objective evidence; on sentencing the Court found premeditation, extreme brutality, planning and attempts to conceal and thus imposed death as the only appropriate penalty under 'rarest of rare' principles.
