On the prosecution evidence as a whole there was no reliable prima facie case: the identity and 80kg weight of the drum were not established, chain of custody and investigative steps were deficient, material inconsistencies existed between key witnesses and there was no credible proof of the requisite overt act of attempt; therefore accused must be discharged and released.
