The Court held the prosecution proved beyond reasonable doubt that each appellant had possession and knowledge of methamphetamine: the deliberate and meticulous concealment (taped packages on both thighs and hidden in shoes), admissions in cautioned statements, CCTV and forensic analysis supported the inference of knowledge. Duress and innocent‑carrier defences failed (duress not imminent/extreme; defence evidence not credible). Alcontara notices were imperfect and did not oblige further inquiry. Accordingly convictions under s39B(1)(a) ADB and sentences were upheld.
