The Penal Code, Chapter 87 of the Laws of Zambia -J2- • -. 1.0 Introduction 1.1 This appeal 1s against the Judgment of the High Court ,(Katanekwa J.) delivered at Solwezi on 23rd February, 2018. The appeal is against conviction and sentence. The appellants were each convicted . for count one of murder contrary to Section 200 of the Penal Code 1 and count two of causing grievous harm with the intent to maim, disfigure or disable contrary to section 224 of the Penal Code. They were each sentenced to death for the first count and seven (7) years for the second count. 2.0 Particulars 2.1 In count one, the particulars alleged that the appellants on the 11 th day of October, 2016 at Zambezi in the Zambezi District of the North-Western Province of the Republic of Zambia, jointly and whilst acting together with other persons unknown did murder John Katutu. 2.2 In the second count, the particulars alleged that the appellants on the 11 th day of October, 2016 at Zambezi in the Zambezi District of the North-Western Province of the Republic -J3- of Zambia jointly and whilst acting together with other persons unknown wounded Judith Saulombo with intent to maim, disfigure or disable or to cause grievous harm to the said Judith Saulombo. 3.0 The prosecution's case 3.1 According to PWl-Mununga Katutu, the deceased's and PW2's daughter, she saw A2 getting grass and setting her father's house alight. She recognised A2, her brother-in-law, as he was married to her elder sister. She was able to recognise him from the light of the fire. PWl heard the voice of Al say, "He is passing this way," as the assailants chased her father. She saw Al hit her father. He fell to the ground. Then Al hit him on the hand and head with a stick. PW 1 said she witnessed these events unfold from a distance of about 10 metres. She described the scene as being bright from the light of the burning house. She said it lit up like sunshine. PWl saw A2 shoot her father twice. She went to the scene where her father was shot and retrieved her young brother, Songe-PW3. She -J4- said she observed her father being shot from a distance of about 6 metres. 3.2 PWl said as she returned to her house with Songe-PW3 she saw her mother, Judith Saulombo crying as she had been shot. She said she was bleeding profusely from her wound on the left shoulder and upper arm. She dressed the wound with a cloth and went into her house to collect money to take her to the hospital. Whilst in the house, she heard the voice of A2 say to her mother, "shut up, you are making noise." 3.3 PWl said she saw Al hitting her father on the head. Then he laid grass on her father's body. She observed A2 and a third person put burning sticks on her father's body. The assailants stood by as the body caught fire and burnt before they left. 3.4 PW2-Judith Saulombo told the trial court that as she slept with her husband she saw a light through the window. She said her husband got up and stood about 2 metres off the bed. She sat on the bed, three (3) metres away from the window when she was shot. She heard a second shot but the bullet missed her. She said when the house was set ablaze she ran -JS- 10 metres away to her daughter's house. As the scene was lit up brightly from the fire of the burning grass, she was able to see A 1 whom she had known for a long time as she was married to his grandfather. PW2 said problems emerged in the family when Al's mother fell ill. She said the deceased was accused of bewitching his daughter by A2. She said on the material day she was able to recognise both Al and A2. 3.5 PW3-Songe Katutu, gave similar testimony to his mother, PW2. He said he was with his parents when they were attacked in their home. He said he witnessed Al hit his father with a stick and as he lay on the ground, he saw A2 shoot him. A third person brought bundles of grass from the shelter which was used to burn his father's body. 3.6 PW4, the arresting officer attended the scene after a report of the killing was made. He discovered a bloodstained kitchen knife and an iron bar. He observed the body had multiple cuts on the back, both thighs, butto_cks, private parts, and that the face was swollen. Upon his investigations, he charged the -J6- appellant for the subject offences. The officer also attended the post-mortem examination. 4.0 The defence 4.1 In his defence, Al denied knowledge of what happened to the deceased. He said that on the material day, he was in Zambezi at Lwatembo area attending to personal jobs and he was with his parents. In cross-examination, he maintained his denial of the events that transpired on the material day. 4.2 A2 equally denied involvement in the murder of the deceased. He told the trial court that on 11 th October, 2016 he was in Lwatembo in Zambezi District attending to domestic chores. With him were his young sister-Jane Mukuma, his nephew Kasoka Chinyama, his daughter-Kavwili Kanganjo and his daughter-in-law, Kutemba Kanganjo. A2 denied all the allegations levelled against him. 5.0 Decision of the court below 5.1 Upon analyzing the evidence before him, the learned trial Judge formed the view that the case stood on the reliability of -J7- the identification of the appellants by the prosecution witnesses. The learned Judge found that PWl, PW2 and PW3 had known the appellants for a long time. He noted that although the events that transpired on the material day were traumatic for the witnesses, PWl observed the assailants for a long time, and she had the courage to go to the scene where her father was shot to retrieve her young bother, PW3. Relying on the case of The People v Chinyanta1 on how to consider the issue of an honest but mistaken identity, the learned trial Judge was satisfied that this did not arise in this case. 5.2 The learned Judge further considered the issue of false implication as guided in the case of George Musupi v The People2 in which case the Supreme Court guided that the critical consideration in matters of this nature is not whether the witness does in fact have an interest or purpose of his own to serve, but whether he is a witness who, because of the category into which he falls or because of the particular circumstances of the case, may have a motive to give false -JS- evidence. He ruled out the possibility of the witnesses having any motivation to falsely implicate A2. 5.3 The trial court found the witnesses to be truthful as regards to their identification of A2. With respect to Al, the learned trial Judge accepted the evidence of PW4 that the other witnesses had informed him of Al's involvement. He found this as a fact and the basis upon which the police arrested A 1. 5.4 On the basis of the evidence presented the learned Judge was satisfied that the appellants while acting together with other persons unknown did shoot and kill the deceased, and caused grievous harm to Judith Saulombo. 6.0 The appeal 6.1 The appellants' were dissatisfied with the decision of the trial court, and seek to assail the Judgment on the following sole ground: - The learned trial Judge erred in law and in fact when he convicted the appellants for murder and causing grievous harm with intent to maim, disfigure or disable on -J9- • insufficient evidence that did not satisfy the standard of proof beyond reasonable doubt. 7.0 The appellant's submissions 7.1 The appellants filed into court heads of argument dated 7 th February, 2022. In support of the sole ground of appeal, reliance was placed on the holdings of a number of cases including the case of Mwewa Murono v The People3 were relied upon where it was held that: "In criminal cases the rule is that the legal burden of proving every element of the offence charged, and consequently the guilt of the accused lies from the beginning to the end on the prosecution. The standard of proof must be beyond all reasonable doubt". 7.2 The case of Shawaza Fawaz and Prosper Chelelwa v The People4 was cited where it held that: "Cross-examination cannot always shake the evidence of untruthful witnesses in every -JlO- • respect; it is sufficient to show the unreliability of a witness if he is shown to have told an untruthful about an important part of his evidence" 7.3 It was submitted that the identification of the attackers was at the core of the prosecution's case. However, counsel invited us to consider the discrepancies in the witnesses' testimonies. It was submitted that the witnesses were of questionable credibility. It was contended that while PWl, PW2 and PW3 gave evidence on oath to the effect that at the time of giving their statements to the police, they identified both appellants, the arresting officer during cross-examination confirmed that the recorded statements for these witnesses show that they only identified Al. The appellants argued that PWl gave her statement to the police two months after the incident whilst PW2 and PW3 gave their statements 2 days after the incident. It was submitted that the witnesses failed to identify A2 at the time of giving their statements to the police and only did so in court. That PW4 gave evidence on oath that the witnesses at -Jll- the police told him that they recognized both appellants, which is contrary to what was recorded and signed for by the same witness and his fellow officers on their purported witness statements. 7.4 The appellants contended that upon an evaluation of the evidence, it would be seen that A2 was not at the scene of crime, and that is why he was not initially identified by PWl, PW2 and PW3 to the time of giving their statements at the police. 7.5 It was argued that PWl, PW2 and PW3 were witnesses with an interest to save whose evidence could be biased because of the ill relationship they had with the appellants. We were requested to note from the evidence on record that the appellants' family and the deceased's family were not in good terms. It was submitted that the circumstances of the case place the witnesses in a position of being witnesses with an interest to save whose evidence could be biased because of the ill relationship. Counsel contended that the trial Judge ought to have warned himself on the need to treat the witnesses with -Jl2- caution and susp1c1on as per guidance 1n the cases Mwambona v The People5 where it states that: " ... evidence of a biased witness should be treated with caution and suspicion and failure to regard him as such is a misdirection on the part of the Court which may lead to the conviction being quashed" 7.6 It was also submitted that there was dereliction of duty on the part of PW4 to investigate what Al told him that he had gone to harvest cassava and was not at the scene of crime. That equally, A2 told PW4 that he was at his daughter's place. Reliance was placed on the case of Latins Lungu v The People6 where it was stated that: "We take the view that the investigations officer in this matter took a casual approach and looked at this case as an open-shut case which is most regrettable. Such an attitude can lead to an innocent person being convicted or a guilty person can escape the long arm of the -J13- law ... due to the gaps in the evidence, the learned trial judge ended up making assumptions which assumptions were not supported by the evidence on record .... clearly, the evidence on record raised strong suspicious of the possibility of foul play. However, strong suspicion is not the standard of proof in criminal matters". 7.7 It was submitted that the failure on the part of PW4 to investigate the appellants' raised alibi was not only a dereliction of duty on his part, but it also proves that he took a casual approach in investigating this matter, leaving the trial Judge to make assumptions which were not supported by evidence. Counsel argued that the shortcomings in the investigations seriously jeopardized the appellants' right of a fair trial per the holding in case of Major Isaac Masonga v The People7 where it was held that: "It is trite law and a constitutional duty for the prosecution to guarantee a fair trial and a fair -J14- trial starts with investigation. Any shortcomings in the investigations may seriously jeopardise the right to a fair proceeding, and thereby also prejudice the accused person's rights to be presumed innocent". 7.8 It was argued that the appellants raised their defences of alibis at the earliest stage and investigating officers were given sufficient information for further investigations on the same. Counsel submitted that the onus was not on the appellants to establish their alibi. But was on the prosecution to negate the said defences through investigations. Reliance was placed the case of Katebe v The Peop le8 • 7.9 In conclusion, counsel submitted that the prosecution did not prove the case beyond all reasonable doubt as required by law. We were urged to allow the appeal, quash conviction, and set aside the sentence. -JlS- 8.0 The respondent's submissions 8.1 The state relied on its heads of argument filed on 21 st March, 2022. It was submitted that the court below was on firm ground in convicting the appellants. 8.2 On the question of credibility of the prosecution witnesses, counsel discounted the appellants' contention that the prosecution evidence is marred with discrepancies. Reliance was placed on the case of Muyunda Muzuba Itutumbi Sitali v The People9 , where the Supreme Court held that: "The reasons which usually underpin credibility include: poor visibility, fleeting glimpse, poor evidence of identification, suspect witnesses etc." 8.3 And the case of Webster Kayi Lumbwe v The People10, 1n which the Supreme Court held: "An appellate court will not interfere with trial courts findings of fact on the issue of credibility -J16- • unless it is clearly shown that the finding was erroneous." 8.4 It was submitted that the prosecution witnesses gave credible evidence of identification in accordance with the case of Chimbini v The People11 where it was held that: "On identification many factors must be taken into account such as whether it was day time or night time and, if the latter, the state of light, time the opportunity of the witness to observe the appellant, the circumstances in which the observation was alleged to have made, most importantly, it is relevant to consider whether the witness knew the accused prior to the incident, since here is the greatest difference between recognizing someone whom you are familiar with, or at least whom you have seen before, and seeing a person for the first time and attempting to recognize and identify him later from observations made in circumstances -J17- • which are no doubt charged with stress and emotions" 8.5 Reliance was place on the case of Nyambe Mbundi v The People12 where it states that: "There is perhaps no area in which there is a great danger of honest mistake than in the area of. identification, particularly where the accused was not known to the witness prior to the occasion on which he is alleged to have been seen. The question is not of credibility in the sense of truthfulness, but of reliability, and the greatest care should therefore be taken to test the identification, it is not enough for the witness simply to say that the accused is the person who committed the offence; the witness should be asked to specify by what features or unusual marks, if any, he alleges to recognize the accused, what was his build, what clothes he was wearing and son on; and the -J18- • • circumstances in which the accused was observed; the state of light, the opportunity for observation and the stress of the moment should be carefully canvassed. The foregoing considerations are not, of course, exhaustive, but intended merely to illustrate that the adequacy of evidence of personal identification will depend on all the surrounding circumstances and each case must be decided on its merits" 8.6 It was submitted that in the case of Mwansa Mushala v The People13 the Supreme Court stated that: "Although recognition may be more reliable that identification of a stranger, even when the witness is purporting to recognize someone whom he knows the trial court should remind itself that mistakes in recognition of close relatives and friends are sometimes made there in need to exclude the possibility of harsh -J19- , . l mistake: the poorer the opportunity for observation, the greater that possibility becomes." 8.7 Counsel submitted that it is a matter of record that the appellants were well-known to the three prosecution witnesses (PWl, PW2 and PW3) at the time. That they recognized both appellants as being part of the three assailants as these are persons they have known for many years and were related to. They gave reliable evidence . to demonstrate how they recognized the appellants as their assailants, giving details such as clothing worn and sufficient lighting, distance and duration of the ordeal. 8.8 It was submitted that the court below addressed its mind to the dangers of an honest but mistaken identity and was on firm ground to rule it out. 8.9 Further, that even though the statements that the three prosecution witnesses gave to the police show that they only identified Al, their evidence was not discredited at all during cross-examination. -J20- .- • 8.10 On discrepancies in the evidence of the prosecution witnesses, reliance was placed on the case of Miyoba v The People14 wherein it was stated inter alia, that: "(1) The general rule is that the contents of a statement made by a witness at another time, whether on oath or otherwise, are not evidence as to the truth thereof; they are ammunition, and only that, in a challenge of the truth of the evidence the witness has given at the trial." 8.11 And the case of Chiyovu v The People1 S where it was held that a witness may explain the discrepancy, and the explanation is a matter for the court to consider in assessing his credibility, or the court may regard the discrepancy as by comparison minor. In light of these authorities, it was submitted that the court below was on firm ground in its finding that both appellants were involved in the commission of the offence. 8.12 On the issue of the prosecution witnesses having an interest to serve /bias, reliance was placed on the guidance given by the -J21- -.. Supreme Court in the case of Yokoniya Mwale v The People16, It was submitted that the issue of interest and bias on the part of the prosecution witnesses was addressed by the lower court per the guidance of the Supreme Court in the case of Yokoniya Mwale. 8.13 Turning to the last issue raised by the appellants that there was a dereliction of duty on the part of PW4, the investigating officer in this case, as he failed to investigate the alibis put forth by the appellants, the state relied on the case of Lubinda v The People17 where it was stated inter alia that: "In this case we are faced with the fact the whole evidence for the defence has been seriously prejudiced by the dereliction of duty on the part of the investigating officers. Had an investigation taken place would it have been in favour of the Appellants? We do not consider that the evidence given for the prosecution was such that it was overwhelming as to offset the -J22- • prejudice which might have arisen from the dereliction of duty". 8.14 Further, the case of Bwalya v The People18 was cited, where on arrest, the appellant in answer to a charge said, "I deny the charge. On 3Qth November, I was in Kabwe." It was held in that case inter alia that there was no dereliction of duty of the part of the police as the appellant had not given the police sufficient particulars such as names and addresses of the people he alleged to have been with in Kabwe. 8.15 It was submitted that there is nothing from the evidence of PW 4 to suggest that he was given names and addresses of the daughter to A2. Further, Al did not furnish PW4 with details of the place and the people he was with during his cassava harvesting activities. That in fact the story of A2 being at Chikolokoti Hospital only arose during his defence. 8.16 It was argued that there was therefore, no duty to investigate on PW4, and no dereliction of duty that arises. Further, counsel conceded that the appellants have no duty at law to prove their alibis. However, there was in this case no alibi -J23- • properly raised. It was submitted that the court assessed the appellants' evidence of their whereabouts and rightly found that it was not credible. 8.17 On the strength of the arguments advanced above, we were urged to dismiss the appeal and uphold both conviction and sentence. 9.0 The decision of the Court on appeal 9.1 We have carefully considered the judgment appealed against, the sole ground of appeal, and the arguments advanced by all the parties herein. The main issue to be determined in this matter, as we see it, is whether there is sufficient evidence to sustain the convictions of the appellants. 9.2 To begin with, we were invited to consider the discrepancies in the witnesses' testimonies. We have paid close attention to what the prosecution witnesses, in particular, PWl, PW2 and PW3, told the trial court. 9.3 Firstly, Mununga Katutu, the deceased's daughter, was drawn to her father's house when she heard a gunshot coming from -J24- that direction. After the second gunshot, she went outside and observed three men at her father's house, from a distance of about 10 metres standing at her father's bedroom window. She saw A2 set her father's house alight. He was well known to her since he had been married to her elder sister. She told the court that when the house was set ablaze the area was lit like the sun and she saw A2's father, Kapalu Kanganjo, Al drop the deceased to the ground and hit him with a stick on the hand and the head. She observed A2 shoot her father as she stood 6 metres away. Further, PWl, undeterred by the gruesome events that were unfolding before her eyes, did not shy away from the scene where the deceased was shot. She went there and retrieved her young brother, PW3, whom she took to safety. She clearly described what each of the appellants wore to the court. She said Al wore a red bomber and red cap. A2 wore black clothing and a cap with ear flaps. Both their faces were uncovered. She said the third assailant concealed his identity as he wore a head gear which only revealed his eyes, mouth and nose. In cross-examination, she was rigorously asked about the identity of Al and A2, and she -J25- • maintained to the end that she identified Al and A2 at the scene, but could not identify the third assailant. 9.4 Secondly, PW2, Judith Saulombo, the deceased's widow told the court that she was able to see Al when her house was set on fire. She said he wore a red bomber-like jacket. She knew him well as she was married to his grandfather. She equally identified A2 at the scene and told the court he had been wearing dark clothing. In cross-examination, she equally sustained her r:esponses of the identity of the appellants. 9.5 Thirdly, PW3, Songe Katutu, was with his parents in the house when he observed Al shoot at his mother whilst in the house. Later, as events unfolded outside he saw Al hit his father with a stick whilst he was on the ground. PW3 corroborated the testimony on PWl and PW2 with respect to the description of the clothing Al and A2 wore. 9.6 It is clear from the evidence that the three prosecution witnesses were consistent with the identity of their assailants. The veracity of their testimonies was challenged against the statements availed to the police. The learned trial court -J26- • • accepted the evidence on identity on the ground of the circumstances of the case. The assailants were well known to the witnesses for a long time. Further, given that the incidents leading to the offences occurred at night, the trial Judge considered the danger of an honest but mistaken identity of the appellants. As such the issue of light dawned on him. He was satisfied that there was sufficient visibility emanating from the deceased's house which had been set ablaze lit up the whole place. This gave the witnesses the opportunity to observe the assailants in the circumstances of the case. Relying on the case of The People v Chinyanta supra, the learned trial Judge was satisfied that the issue of an honest but mistaken identity had been dispelled. Having analysed the evidence, we are of the view that the trial court had the advantage of having seen the witnesses. His findings on credibility cannot be interfered with. 9. 7 On the issue of the prosecution witnesses having a bias or an interest of their own to serve, we are guided by the Supreme -J27- • Court in the case of Yokoniya Mwale v The People supra where it stated that: "The point in all these authorities is that this category of witnesses may, in particular circumstances, ascertainable on the evidence, have a bias or an interest of their own to serve, or a motive to falsely implicate the accused. Once this is discemable, and only in these circumstances, should the court treat those witnesses in the manner we have suggested in the Kambarage case . ... . . . A conviction will thus be safe if it is based on uncorroborated evidence of witnesses who are friends or relatives of the deceased or the victim, provided the court satisfies itself that on the evidence before it, those witnesses could not be said to have a bias or motive to falsely implicate the accused, or any other interest of -J28- l ii their own to serve. What is key in our vi.ew, is that there is no danger of false implication." 9.8 The record shows that when Al was asked about his relationship with the prosecution witnesses, he told the court that differences with them began in 2014 as they were not happy he sold cassava. He further denied that he had any differences with the deceased or that he accused him of being a witch. A2 denied that he had warned the deceased that he would kill him if he killed his wife. He said he divorced the deceased's daughter in 2015 before she passed on. 9. 9 The trial court addressed the issue of the danger of false implication. It considered the case of George Musupi v The People supra in which case, the Supreme Court guided that, the critical consideration in matters of this nature is not whether the witness does in fact have an interest or a purpose of his own to serve, but whether he is a witness who, because of the category into which he falls or because of the particular circumstances of the case, may have a motive to give false evidence. Having considered the circumstances of the case, -J29- t I the trial court ruled out the danger of false implication. Having carefully combed through the evidence on record, we do not find any misdirection on the part of the lower court. 9.10 The law as regards alibi is as was stated by the Supreme Court in the case of Bwalya v The People supra as follows: "(ii) •.. The law relating to the onus of proof of an alibi is that once evidence thereof fit to be left to a jury has been adduced the onus is on the prosecution to negative the alibi. (iii) Simply to say "I was in Kabwe at the time" does not place a duty on the police to investigate; this is tantamount to saying that every time an accused says "I was not there" he puts forward an alibi which it is the duty of the police to investigate. If the appellant had given the names or addresses of the people in Kabwe in whose company he alleged to have been on the day in question it would have been the duty -J30- of the police to investigate, but the appellant not having done so there was no dereliction of duty on the part of the police." 9.11 A review of the evidence of PW4 shows that Al told him that at the material time he was not in the area but had gone to harvest cassava. A2 told him that he had gone some area to take his daughter to the hospital. PW4 was never challenged in cross-examination about the details that the appellants alleged to have availed to him such as the names of the people they were with and the places and time they were with. 9.12 In our view, therefore, there is no evidence on record forming the basis of the duty for PW4 to have investigated the alleged . alibis, and as such, we find no dereliction of duty of the part of . I PW4 and the police. In fact, the record shows (at page 65, lines 5 to 6) that when Al was specifically asked by counsel in cross-examination if he denied being in Lwatembo,. his , responses were evasive· and he simply said he left the area on 3 rd October without giving further details. As for A2, the record shows (at page 74 lines 5 to 10) that he _admitted in cross- -J31- examination that he never mentioned the names of the people he was with to the police when he was arrested. We accept the state's submissions that in this case the defences of alibis were not properly raised. 10.0 Conclusion 10.1 The net result 1s that we accordingly find no merit in this appeal. We dismiss it and uphold the convictions and sentences on both counts. C. F. R. Mchenga DEPUTY JUDGE PRESIDENT ' \ C. K. Makungu D. L . .
