Facts

The accused, Evans Nyasiani Koroba, is on trial for the offence of murder. The victim of the alleged crime is Boniface Mutunga. The prosecution called eleven witnesses, including a post-mortem examination by Dr. Dorothy Njeru, who established the cause of death was a head injury due to blunt trauma.

Issues

  1. Whether the prosecution has established a prima facie case against the accused.
  2. The credibility of the accused's admission and the evidence of a struggle near the accused's house.

Reasoning

The prosecution established the death of the deceased and the cause thereof through the post-mortem examination. The accused admitted involvement and the evidence of a struggle near his house supports the prosecution's case.

Outcome

The accused has a case to answer.
