On the totality of evidence the Court of Appeal found prosecution proved possession and common intention beyond reasonable doubt; the innocent carrier defence failed because the second appellant had reasonable suspicions and opportunity to inspect the bag and deliberately refrained (wilful blindness); official witnesses' evidence was reliable; conviction under s39B(1)(a) upheld, but pursuant to discretionary sentencing post-Act 846 the second appellant's death sentence was commuted to imprisonment of 30 years and 12 strokes.
