ACCUSED'S ARM CUT The two accused probably in tended to get into the idlichen and shut the door on the deceased and those with, him. There may have been a struggle at that door as the door was later found to be damaged. At any rate whilst the two accused and the deceased were near that door the first accused raised his right hand and slashed at deceased's right arm: Regard ing the question of visibility in the house there is evidence that there was an oil lamp burning in the kitchen above the loss, near the table; à lamp in the second cubi- cle and also in the third cubicle.

MAY BE MANSLAUGHTER The two accused were originally charged with murder but when the matter was investigated it became clear that at the highest the charge is one of manslaughter. It is possible that, when the case is investigated before your Worship, and the witnesses are subjected to cross-examination, other facts may be revealed throwing more light on what actually happened.
On the other hand you may find that the force used was more than was reasonably necessary in the circumstances that the use of deadly weapons like the vegetable knife was not justified. If such is found to be the case then they are guilty of manslaughter.IN
