The Court found no error in the trial judge's factual and legal findings that a prima facie case was established, that circumstantial evidence together with the accused's signed pre-trial admission proved the elements of murder under s300(c) and s302 beyond reasonable doubt, and that the defence failed to raise reasonable doubt; however, in exercise of sentencing discretion under the post-mandatory-death statutory regime the death sentence was not warranted and was substituted with 35 years imprisonment backdated to 05.02.2018 and 15 strokes.
