On maximum evaluation the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused had effective control and custody of the car containing the seized packages and therefore, applying section 37(d) Dangerous Drugs Act 1952 and in the absence of any satisfactory explanation or rebuttal on the balance of probabilities, the accused was found to have possession and knowledge of the methamphetamine; adverse inference under s114(g) did not arise and the chain of custody was intact, leading to conviction and sentence of imprisonment and whipping.
