There are many possibilities of the likely cause of death.
That the Prosecution has failed to link by Medical
evidence the death of the Deceased to the act of the
Defendant. The Charge is therefore bound to fail. That
the act of the Defendant did not show any criminal
intent.
He did not have the intention of killing the
Deceased.
Learned Counsel to the Defence further relies on the
right of private defence.
She submits that the
Deceased was an unknown criminal trespasser. That
reasonable force is envisaged in overpowering the
thief, robber or burglar.
That any accident that
occurred while carrying out a lawful act is not an
offence.
