The court found a prima facie case based on circumstantial evidence including alleged motive (past enmity over a 30-year-old rape acquittal), recovery of blood-stained clothes pursuant to the accused's disclosure, and his proximity to the crime scene. The court held that given the gravity of the offense, risk of witness tampering, and completed investigation, continued detention was justified.
