CRIMINAL APPEAL NO 189 OF 2022

Court
TANZLII

The Court held that the charge was not defective as the trial was properly conducted within the jurisdiction where the appellant was in custody, and that the victim's evidence was credible and reliable, with delay in reporting being understandable in sexual offence cases. The appeal was dismissed for lack of merit.
