On maximum evaluation the prosecution proved an unbroken chain of circumstantial evidence establishing motive, exclusive opportunity (accused last seen with deceased), and medical evidence of smothering; admissible testimony of deceased's solicitor and CCTV footage corroborated absence of third-party access; accused failed to give a plausible explanation under the 'last seen together' doctrine; therefore prosecution proved guilt beyond reasonable doubt and accused convicted of murder under s302 Penal Code.
