R v HL (CR 44 of 2023) [2024] SCSC 200 (28 November 2024)

R v KNF (CR 17/2017) [2020] SCSC 563 (27 July 2020)
The prosecution failed to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused was the perpetrator of the offences due to unreliable identification evidence, absence of an identification parade, and the inherent weaknesses and contradictions in the testimonies of the prosecution witnesses. Dock identification without prior reliable out-of-court identification was insufficient to sustain a conviction.

R v Souffe & Ors (CO 52/2013) [2016] SCSC 457 (23 June 2016)
The evidence did not establish a prima facie case against the 4th and 5th accused as neither participated in or had the requisite knowledge or intent for the offences charged. The 4th accused was not present at the relevant time and had no opportunity to dissociate himself, while the 5th accused was a minor with no participation or agreement in the illegal acts.
