RULING PURSUANT TO SECTION 210 OF THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CODE

I have evaluated the prosecution evidence on record.

A daughter of the deceased PW1 testified to have been present on the fateful day, the 21st February 2015 when the accused, her brother and another brother who is at large hit their father on the head with a walking stick and dragged him into the house when he was bleeding profusely.

The alleged murder weapon was recovered at the scene. I find that the evidence by the prosecution witnesses to be sufficient to call upon the accused to defend himself and answer to the charges.

It is so ordered.
