The accused is found guilty of murder.
Facts
The accused is charged with murder. The prosecution's witnesses testified that the accused took the deceased (the accused's daughter) away on May 27, 2012, at around 4 PM. The accused's father, the deceased's father, was not present at the time. The accused's brother, PW3, saw the accused take the deceased away. The deceased's shoes were found in the forest, and the accused admitted to taking them.
