Court
TZCA

The absence of the substituted charge sheet and the ruling on the existence of a prima facie case in the record of appeal deprived the appellants of their right to a fair trial and appeal, rendering the conviction unsafe. Non-compliance with section 231(1) of the CPA further vitiated the proceedings. The cumulative effect of these procedural irregularities necessitated nullification of the trial and appellate proceedings and a retrial on a proper charge.

The appeal was dismissed because the evidence of the victim was corroborated by other witnesses, the voir dire irregularity did not invalidate the conviction, the absence of the investigating police did not prejudice the appellant, scientific evidence was not legally required, and the High Court properly invoked section 127(7) of the Evidence Act.
