    Although the prosecution proved that the accused caused a bite injury to the complainant, on the balance of probabilities the bite was inflicted while the accused was gripped from behind and was an act of private defence not excessive for the purpose of defence; therefore the defence of private defence succeeded and the accused was acquitted.
