Holding
The court finds that a prima facie case has not been established against the accused and therefore acquits him.
Facts
The accused abducted and murdered a 3-year-old girl named S.N.W. on October 23, 2016. Two other young girls disappeared and were found mutilated seven days later.
Issues
- Whether a prima facie case has been established against the accused for the murder of S.N.W.
- Whether the prosecution's evidence, including circumstantial evidence and forensic analysis, is sufficient to establish the accused's guilt.
Reasoning
The court concludes that the prosecution's evidence, including the recovered exhibits and forensic analysis, does not conclusively link the accused to the crime.
