Court found prosecution proved identity, weight (189.93g) and chain of custody for methamphetamine and established circumstantial facts linking the accused to locked room No.2 (key on 1st accused, personal documents, packing equipment). However, applying the correct post‑Alma Nudo approach the defence successfully rebutted the statutory presumption of knowledge on the balance of probabilities; reasonable doubt remained as to guilt and prosecution failed to prove the offence beyond reasonable doubt; both accused acquitted and discharged.
