Saluwema v People (CAZ 8 4 of 1965) [1965] ZMCA 12 (17 February 1965)

Appeal allowed: homicide charge should state date of death; reasonably possible alternative cause creates reasonable doubt.

Criminal procedure — homicide charges — date of death should be charged; Evidence — burden of proof — ‘reasonably possible’ alternative creates reasonable doubt; Evidence — lying by accused may reinforce credible evidence but cannot salvage discredited or unreliable evidence.
