Accused

Ruling

1. I have gone through the evidence adduced by the prosecution witnesses. The Accused was properly identified as having been last seen with the deceased before his death. I find that there is prima facie evidence that calls for the Accused’s rebuttal.

2. The Accused therefore has a case to answer and he is hereby placed on his defence.
