Holding

The 1st and 2nd accused are found guilty of Manslaughter

Facts

The 1st and 2nd accused, along with others, went to the deceased's home armed with dangerous weapons and found him outside. They dragged him out and later beat and tortured him for approximately 2-3 hours before he was killed.

Issues

  1. Whether the accused had malice aforethought
  2. Whether the accused had planned the murder of the deceased

Reasoning

The evidence does not show the accused had planned the murder, and the attack was not spontaneous. The accused had sufficient time to surrender the deceased but did not do so.

Outcome

Convicted of Manslaughter
