Flynote

Criminal law

Case summary

The court observed that the Court of Appeal had properly reevaluated the evidence when it found that the appellant had received print outs of phone records, signed for the gun from the police armory, had arrested the witnesses from hospital and took them to a lodge where they gave him the money and that though he had not gotten the money from its owner, he had taken the same from the witnesses who had been in possession. The court set aside the compensation order and reduced the tern of imprisonment to six years as the use of deadly weapon had not been proved.
