KCC 455/2012
This case involved ttwo individuals convicted of killing. A key point was the validity of the investigation proceedings as they claimed they had been beaten by the victim's relatives before and after the investigation.
Background
Two appellants said in their grounds of appeal that the appealed ruling by which they were convicted of killing had insufficient evidence of causation and had erred in the application of law. They said that the investigation proceedings were invalid because they were beaten by the victim's relatives before and after the investigation. They also said that they maintained before the court that the criminal intention did not exist in the case.
Decision
The court of cassation said that this argument was invalid. The court said that the court considered all aspects of the incident and concluded that the elements of the crime existed in the case. The court said that the court established its ruling on the grounds of solid evidence. The court said that the documents of the case revealed that the investigation proceedings were valid and that the appellant's defence in this regard was irrelevant.
The court dismissed the appeal.
