The accused, Joseph Ankole, is charged with murder. The prosecution alleges that on May 7, 2007, the accused killed Samuel Lokimangar. The accused denies the charge and claims he was elsewhere at the time of the murder.

Issues

  1. Whether the prosecution has proven the accused's guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
  2. Whether the accused's actions provide sufficient circumstantial evidence to convict him.

Reasoning
