The Court held that the prosecution failed to prove murder under s.302 read with s.300(c) because there was insufficient evidence that the injuries would in the ordinary course of nature cause death and there was reasonable doubt as to intention to cause death; however the evidence proved intention to inflict bodily injury likely to cause death (2nd limb of s.299), supporting conviction for culpable homicide not amounting to murder under s.304(a); accordingly the High Court's conviction under s.304(a) and the 18-year sentence were affirmed.
