Court affirmed conviction under s304(a) Penal Code and 16-year imprisonment; held High Court erred to rely on Exception 2 (private defence) but court nonetheless found appellant entitled to rely on Exception 1 (grave and sudden provocation) which reduced the charge from murder to culpable homicide not amounting to murder; Exception 4 (sudden fight) did not apply because the confrontation was prolonged, there was cooling-off time and the accused took undue advantage/cruel means by using a motor vehicle.
