On the totality of credible prosecution evidence — eyewitness testimony, forensic post‑mortem establishing multiple blunt force trauma sufficient to cause death (s.300(c)), corroborating investigative findings and failure of defendants to raise reasonable doubt via alibi or credible exculpatory evidence — the court found mens rea and common intention proven under s.302 read with s.34 and convicted all three defendants; given current statutory context the court imposed imprisonment rather than death: 35 years and 12 strokes each.
