At this juncture the defence counsel submitted that the deceased was the author of his own misfortune and called for the acquittal of the deceased. Having considered the evidence placed before court by the prosecution I am of the view that the prosecution has established a prima facie case. In the circumstances therefore I call on the accused to be put on his defence. Dated and delivered this 2 February, 2011 ALI-ARONI JUDGE
