Saya ada nampak pakaian Dexter dan Jimmy sewaktu balik ke rumah Wing Hing
dari stesen minyak Shell. Dexter pakai T-shirt. Saya tidak ingat warna T-shirt
tersebut. Dia memakai seluar jeans berwarna biru gelap. Saya nampak kesan darah
pada pakaian Dexter — iaitu di atas T-shirt. Buat kali pertama saya nampak T-shirt
Dexter mempunyai darah semasa kami berada di stesen minyak Shell USJ 1.
Semasa Dexter sampai di rumah Wing Hing, Wing Hing telah memberi sehelai baju
kepada Dexter untuk tukar.
Saya juga ada nampak pakaian Jimmy sewaktu di stesen minyak Shell. Jimmy
memakai sehelai T-shirt tetapi saya tidak ingat warnanya. Beliau memakai sehelai
seluar panjang dan saya juga tidak ingat warnanya. T-shirt Jimmy juga mempunyai
kesan darah. Pada hari itu Jimmy ada pakai cermin mata.

Selama saya berkenalan dengan Dexter saya tidak bermusuh dengan beliau. Saya
juga tidak bermusuh dengan Jimmy.
[9] SP28 who performed the post mortem testified that the deceased had
23 injuries on his body almost all of them confined to the upper part of the body.
Injury No 11 was a gaping deep incised wound 17cm long placed horizontally on
the upper back of neck and his wound had cut the underlying second and third
crucial vertebrae and also the spinal cord completely cut. Injury No 11 by itself
could lead to death and also the other injuries that were found could have
collectively caused the death. Injury No 11 is necessarily a fatal injury and the rest
are fatal in the ordinary course of nature. According to SP28 all the cut wounds
were caused by a sharp-cutting, long-bladed weapon and in his opinion, a
classical weapon of that nature would be a parang. Exhibit P22 was shown to
him and he testified that it is a very heavy, sharp, long, straight bladed
weapon and is a weapon likely to have caused all the injuries on the deceased.
SP28 also testified that the cause of death is multiple cut wound to head and
neck.
[10] Since one of the major complaints raised in this appeal is against the
findings of facts, the statements of the HC judge that a case has been
established against both appellants are quoted verbatim:
At the close of the prosecution’s case, upon a careful examination of all the evidence
