The Court of Appeal upheld three convictions for unlawful possession of firearms, rejecting procedural and evidentiary challenges but expunging several unread exhibits.
The conviction was unsafe due to contradictions between the appellant's repudiated confession and the prosecution witnesses, procedural irregularities in recording the confession, and the prosecution's failure to prove the offence beyond reasonable doubt. The omnibus charge further prejudiced the appellant's defence.
Source excerpt
The charge was defective for duplicity and lack of specificity, resulting in unfair hearing and conviction for offences not supported by evidence; proceedings and convictions quashed, retrial ordered.
