The only e}{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid13972935 vidence there is that of PW}{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10054234\charrsid795536 1 who in his testimony stated that h}{ \lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid13972935 e saw A.}{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10054234\charrsid795536 l with a gun on the night in issue. The gun was used to guard him. The witness does not say what role the gun played apart from the fact that it was being carried. He was neither threatened with it nor was it discharged. What is more, it was not ex hibited. A deadly weapon includes any instrument made or adapted for shooting, stabbing or cutting and any instrument which, when used for offensive purposes, is likely to cause death. See S.273 of the Penal Code Act. Given the fact that what appeared to be a gun could }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid13972935 have been mistaken for a gun }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10054234\charrsid795536 in a situation lacking of good light conditions and the fact that the gun }{ \i\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10054234\charrsid795536 was }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10054234\charrsid795536 never discharged to show that it had the expected properties of a gun, I am reluctant to agree that there was a gun in evidence tha t night. The single witness could have been mistaken. This finding is in relation to count 1. I find no evidence of a gun also where such is not advanced even in the case of count 2 and count 3. Consequently the prosecution has not proved the second ingre dient beyond reasonable doubt. \line }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10167206 \par }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10054234\charrsid795536 The third ingredient is in relation to the participation of the accused persons. P W 1 told court that he saw both A.l and A.2 at his premises on the night in issue. He stated that he was able to identify the two people becau se of the torch which he had. He was also assisted by moonlight which was shining outside that night. He stated that the attackers were at his house for about one hour. Accused stood near P W 1 on the night in question. I must also note that accused perso n s were not known to P W 1 before. It would be unsafe to convict the accused on evidence of single witness without further evidence. Next morning when he was tracing the whereabouts of the accused he mentioned a green jacket as an item of clothing one of t h e attackers would be identified by. According to P W 4, the investigating officer, all that was found of the stolen property was a kikoyi and coffee satchets. There is no qualification given that those items and indeed slippers which were in wrappers belo nged to either P W 1 or P W 3 and not anywhere else. The prosecution has not given ad}{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10167206 ditional evidence to that of }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10054234\charrsid795536 identification by PW1, as initially designed, showing that the persons who were eventually arrested were in any way connected to the proper ty eventually recovered. I am therefore not persuaded that A.l and A.2 were the people who on the night of 23rd February 1997 went and attacked and took away PW1\rquote s property. I need not refer to count 2 and count 3 as no evidence was adduced in support. \line }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10167206 \par }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10054234\charrsid795536 I agree with counsel for the accused that the alibis of the accused persons have not been disproved by the prosecution thus putting them at the scene of crime. The third ingredient has not been proved by the prosecution beyond reasonable doubt. \line }{ \lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10167206 \par }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10054234\charrsid795536 Major contra dictions appear in the prosecution case concerning recovery of the stolen property. The investigating officer (PW4) told court that all that was found was a kikoyi, coffee satchets and later a radio. The radio was of no relevance to the case. PW1 did not e nter any of the houses searched but told court that property suspected to have been stolen was recovered from the house of A.1. Yet PW3 who also went along told court what property was recovered that day was recovered from the house of A.2. Prosecution ev idence is not agreed on where the property, if any, was recovered from. This is a disappointing difference in }{\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10167206 perception by the witnesses. \line }{ \lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10054234\charrsid795536 \par In the result I find that, in agreement with the assessors, the accused persons are not guilty of any of the three counts they are indicted for. They are to be acquitted and set at liberty forthwith unless they are being held on any other lawful charge. \line }{\b\lang1033\langfe2057\langnp1033\insrsid10167206 \par Paul K.
