I should say that the conflict is irresolvable and as such it leaves a grave doubt in mind. There was also evidence, from tho3 police officers, that the appellant was not perturbed at all when he was informed that ho was suspected of unlawful possession of diamonds, and that when he was walking towards the search room, passing through dark places with the poiice officers, he made no movemont which would sugest that the appellant was attempting tQclisposc something, but he lost temper when the 4 stones were produced from his pocket and became "violcnt to use the word used by the police witnesses. The appellant admitted that the stones were found in his possession, but he alleged that anybcd:j could have planted it to him when he was aslçep at the heap of gravel, and in particular ho suspected Kashinjo or lasiga with whom ho was not in .;ood terms. The learned magistrate, in cbnsidoring this point 1 said - "There is no dispute that Kashinje or anybody else could reach the accused (appellant) and put the stones in his pocke. If that was the case, it is indeed surprising that the learned magistratc proceeded to convict the appellant. In another paragraph, the learned magistrate having said what he had said above, said- "It is impossible to believe that a person could coo and put the diamonds in his pocket without notice. The accused's (appellant's) story would be reasonable if ho suggested that the person likely to plant the diamonds on him was Kwangu." I think this is a bit of confusion of thought. If "anybody else" could have planted them, as the learned magistrate suggested, than a person could also come from the pit, where Kashinjc or Kasiga was supposed to be working and (10 it and it need not necessarily be Kwangu. There was nothing "impossible" about it, bearing in mind that (a) the place where the appellant and Kwangu were found lying was an open place and (b) that, possibly, the appellant was asleep. Thoo factors could have facilitatedeasy planting of the diamonds on the appellant. Having considered all these dist ur bing features, the learned magistrate, nevertheless, convicted the appellant as charged. Looking at the evidence as given, the prosecution's evidence does not rule out cntiroly the possibility that the offending 3 pieces of diamonds were planted on appellant at any stage before Patrick took thom out of the appellant's Pocket, and the ovidenco as such cannot be said to be adoqato to support the -appellant's conviction in this case. I would, therefore, respectfully differ with the views of the learned State ittorney. The. conviction is quashed. The sentence set aside. The fine imposed hculd be refunded to the appellant. z Delivered in Court on 13th November, 1 97 0 - V (z.N. E1KiNDY.) ~ cting Judge. Present: State Lttcrnoy Kalunga. Lppollant - absent.
