The Court found the trial court and High Court's concurrent findings sound, citing critical prosecution infirmities including unexplained discrepancies between medico-legal and post-mortem injury reports (6 vs. 14 injuries), the deceased not being examined at trial despite being hospitalized, and only one head injury documented despite allegations of attacks by eight armed persons.
