    KA-45B-2-05/2023 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

    Prosecution failed to prove a prima facie case because it did not establish, to the required standard, that the accused's conduct caused the fatal abdominal aortic tear or that the injury was, in the ordinary course, sufficient to cause death; multiple assaults by others and plausible alternative causes created reasonable doubt, so the accused was discharged without being called to answer.

    High Court
    Case number
    WA-45B-9-10/2020 (Mahkamah Tinggi)

    The court held that the cumulative circumstantial evidence—accused being last seen with victim, accused directing removal and disposal of vehicle, accused leading police to body location, a contemporaneous confession to a lay witness admissible under s24 Evidence Act, and autopsy confirming multiple ante-mortem stab wounds penetrating vital organs—proved beyond reasonable doubt that the accused intentionally inflicted fatal bodily injuries (s300(c)), warranting conviction for murder under s302 Penal Code.
