Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's findings, emphasizing that the prosecution's case lacked credibility due to several inconsistencies, including the improbability of the accused fleeing the scene with children and the absence of gunshot residue around the wounds. The Court noted that the evidence did not support the claim of a shotgun being used, as the injuries were inconsistent with such a weapon, and the recovery of a gun a month later could not be linked to the murder. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, affirming the High Court's decision.
