On the totality of admissible and credible circumstantial evidence the court found the accused was the last person with the deceased, his conduct (including attempts to avoid post-mortem) and the nature of injuries (blunt force trauma to head) established beyond reasonable doubt that he inflicted bodily injury of a kind sufficient in the ordinary course of nature to cause death (s300(c)); the accused's alibi was inconsistent and rejected; conviction under s302 followed and sentence of death imposed.
