It is crystal clear, by my assessment, that the totality of
pieces of evidence adduced on the record by the
prosecution witnesses, which was not impeached
under
cross-examination,
corroborated
the
confession made by the Defendant in Exhibit P3.
Now, I am not unmindful that the Defendant, in her
testimony, attempted to retract her confessional
statement. She was shown Exhibits P3 and P3A and
she confirmed that it was her statement. She
however
claimed
that
the
ICPC
officer
who
interviewed her dictated to her what she wrote in her
statement and to own up to the offence; and that
she was promised to be released to go and see her
doctor if she wrote whatever she was asked to write.
