The accused was caution interviewed by police on 8th August 2007. He was asked 88 questions over a period of 3 days. He was given t
he customary meal and rest breaks during the time. In answer to Questions 85, 86 and 87, the accused said he gave his answers voluntarily and out of his own free will, and that his answers were the truth. Yet, when examining the accused\rquote 
s answers to the qu
estions, he appeared to give three different types of answers. He appeared to admit that, at times, he had sexual intercourse with Priya. See for example, Questions 5, 13, 42, 43, 56, 57, 58, 60, 61, 75, 79 and 80, and their answers. Second, at times, he 
appeared to admit that, he merely rubbed his erected penis, on Priya\rquote 
s vagina, while she had her panty on. See for example, Questions 42, 62, 64 and 77, and their answers. Third, at times, he denied the allegations against him. See for example, Questions 44
, 45, 49, 63 and 65, and their answers. The sum total of the accused\rquote 
s answers to the allegations posed to him during his police caution interview, is a matter for you to consider, as assessors and judges of fact. Out of the three different version of even
ts he answered the allegations with, which version do you consider reliable? This is a matter for you, as assessors and judges of fact.

This case is really about the complaint of a 14 years old girl, named Priya Agnes Kumar. You have heard evidence in court, and obviously, you have observed her demeanour while she was giving her evidence. Priya has indeed m
ade very serious allegations against the accused, her elder brother, who was 18 years old, at the time. The accused has also given his evidence. On oath, he denied all the allegations made against him. He said, his younger sister Priya, was lying in court
. Priya\rquote s version of events were completely at odds with that of his brother, the accused. Remember, it is for the prosecution to prove the accused\rquote 
s guilt beyond reasonable doubt, and that burden stays with the prosecution throughout the trial. The accused is not required to prove his innocence. The prosecution has called Priya\rquote s elder brother Claudius Kumar, also the acccused\rquote 
s younger brother, to give evidence. He said, he saw the accused having sex with Priya on 30th July 2007, at about 11.30am, when he 
came home early for lunch. He said, he was disgusted, and later reported the matter to the police. The accused called his mother as his witness. She said, she didn\rquote 
t believe the allegations leveled at her son, the accused. In his police caution interviews,
 the accused gave three different type of answers. At times, he admitted he had sexual intercourse with his sister, Priya Agnes Kumar. At times, he also denied having sex with his sister, Priya Agnes Kumar. He also admitted that, at times, he rubbed his e
rected penis on Priya\rquote s vagina, while she had her underpants on. Priya\rquote 
s medical report, dated 8th August 2007, said she had torn her hymen as a result of sexual assault. As assessors and judges of fact, you have to consider all the above evidence together.
