    Court upheld conviction because eyewitness identification by victims was reliable on the facts (close proximity, duration, prior acquaintance, adapted night vision), inconsistencies over weapon form and failure to produce the parang were not fatal, defects in the identification parade did not render dock identification unsafe, the FIR only initiated investigation and language issues did not undermine in‑court testimony, and failure to call the out‑of‑country witness did not demonstrate deliberate concealment to invoke s114(g).
