i 2 / / I February, 2017 but was filed on the 28 th day of February, 2017 as their final address in this matter and urged the Court to discharge and acquit the defendant on the ground that the prosecution failed to prove the allegation beyond reasonable doubt. For the / prosecution , her learned counsel adopted the final written address t dated the 21s day of February, 2017 and filed on the same day as their final argument in this charge. He urged the Court to hold that the prosecution has proved all the ingredients of murder beyond reasonable doubt. He urged the Court further to convict and sentence the defendant in accordance with the law. In the final written address of the defendant, his learned counsel formulated one issue for the determination of this Court to wit: "Whether the prosecution proved that it was the defendant who murdered the deceased as required by law?" For the prosecution , her learned counsel in his final written address framed one issue for the determination of this Court. The issue for determination is as follows :.... "Whether the prosecution has proved the case of murder beyond reasonable doubt in this charge?" I have looked at the issue for determination variously distilled by the learned counsel for the parties in this charge. On sober reflection on the sets of issue for determination as settled on behalf of the parties shows clearly that the sole issue for determination prepared by the learned counsel for the defendant is similar and related to the .sole issue for determination culled by the learned counsel for the prosecution . Any of the sets of issue for determination formulated by the parties is apt, relevant and germane to determine this charge. I shall adopt the sets of issue for determination in the consideration of this charge but for easy understanding , I shall address the sole issue for determination as follows :Whether the prosecution from the circumstances of this case and the evidence adduced , has proved beyond reasonable doubt
