Trial judge properly found that cumulative circumstantial and eyewitness evidence (notably SP14, SP15, SP11, SP12, SP18, SP26) together with forensic pathology (stab wound to the heart) and the accused's knowledge of concealment of the weapon formed an overwhelming and coherent chain pointing to the appellant's guilt; SP14 was not an accomplice whose evidence required exclusionary corroboration; failure to call Ros Elly and Hoo Chee Keong did not prejudice the prosecution and section 114(g) did not apply; therefore conviction and death sentence were safe and affirmed.
