These are appeals against the conviction of first appellant for murder, and of second appellant of accessory after the fact of murder, which convictions were entered in the Supreme Court Lautoka on the 14th April, 1980. There is also an appeal by second a

found on the rail track on Saweni. From the medical evidence it would appear that Jitendra had died between 11.30 p.m. and 1.30 a.m. On the basis of this evidence, the learned trial Judge found that Jitendra was dead when his body was run over by the cane
-train. Branches and leaves had been placed over the body, apparently in an attempt to conceal it.

The case for the prosecution, which was based almost entirely upon confessions said to have been merle by the two appellants, was to the effect that when app
ellant arrived home at night on the 21 November, 1979 he found Jitendra in the same bedroom as his daughter and grand-daughter. First appellant had been drinking. He was very angry to find Jitendra in the same room as the girls. He beat his daughter with 
a
 hose-pipe and ordered Jitendra out of his house. As Jitendra was walking out of the steps, first appellant picked up a piece of pipe and hit Jitendra on the back of the head with it. Jitendra fell down unconscious and the medical evidence indicates that 
h
e died from this blow. Second appellant came running to the scene. Both appellants then wrapped the unconscious Jitendra in a sack and carried him out to a van. Second appellants, on instructions from first appellant, drove the van to Saweni Beach where b
oth appellants lifted Jitendra and placed him on a sharp bend on the railway line and covered him with leaves. They then drove back to their home. About 4 o}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid12983927 '}{

As some of the grounds of appeal filed concern the actual conduct of the case in the Court, it will be convenient at this stage to set out shortly what took plac

R 1, the judgement in which was delivered after the present grounds were framed. It was argued in that case, in rather similar circumstances, that the court had no jurisdiction to hold a trial within a trial at the stage it did, as the assessors had not b
een sworn and therefore the trial had not commenced. Section 260 of the Criminal Procedure Code (Cap. 14) however makes it clear that the trial commences as soon as a plea of not guilty has been entered}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

\par There was no evidence here that the first appellant h
ad asked for his solicitor to be present at that stage. In any event three different solicitors had informed the police that they had received instructions - two of them from the family - to represent the accused. The learned Judge held that as the accuse
d
 had already been advised by his solicitor as to his rights, and there was no law providing that a solicitor might intervene during the course of an interview of an accused person by the police, there was no basis for holding that such a statement could n
o
t be given as evidence on this ground. With this ruling we agree. On this ground complaint was also made that, though counsel had asked in the Supreme Court that the learned Judge should exclude the statements in the exercise of his discretion, the Judge 
had not dealt with the que}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid11031123 stion. The }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid10843325\charrsid13967841

re satisfied from the long and careful ruling by the learned Judge on the }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ai\af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid10843325\charrsid12155009 voir dire}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

 We say at once that as a ground of appeal this entirely lacks merit. If there is a practice that there should be three assessors for murder trials it was complied with in the present instance. The trial commenced with three. It has not been shown that an

 a trial, properly begun, may not continue without a minimum of three assessors; if circumstances occur that bring it within section 267 of the Criminal Procedure Code any such practice (and none has been establish
ed) would be contrary to the provisions of the section. In the present case, the learned Judge having found that it was not practicable immediately to enforce the missing assessors attendance, he was directed by the section to proceed with the remaining t
wo. This ground fails.

Nevertheless it is inescapable that the refusal to grant an adjournment until the next day did have the effect of depriving the appellant of the right he had of being defended by counsel. That the learned Chief Justice was unaware that his refusal to adjo

In our view it is essential that Sections 234 and 235 of the Penal Code be read together. Section 234 sets out the circumstances under which a charge of murder may be reduced to manslaughter. Section 235 defines }{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0

on of self control implies a sudden transition to a state necessarily temporary during which the power of self control is absent. In our view the learned Judge was enjoined be Section 234 of the Penal Code, in explaining the issue of provocation, to direc
t
 the assessors that it was the essence of the defence of provocation (which the Crown had to negative) that it was the acts of Jitendra which allegedly caused the first appellant a sudden and temporary loss of self control and rendered him so subject to p

eyond reasonable doubt that at the time first appellant hit Jitendra over the back of the head with an iron pipe the first appellant had the requisite intent to kill or cause grievous harm. The learned trial Judge should in our view have told the assessor
s
 that the first appellant was charged with murder, and he could not be convicted unless it was proved beyond reasonable doubt that he inflicted the blow with intent to murder or cause grievous harm. If neither of these latter elements is established, the

etermine, and then to express their opinions as to whether it had been proved to their satisfaction that the first appellant, despite the effect of the intoxicating liquor which he had admittedly consumed, was capable of forming an intent to kill or do gr

(1963) 3 All E.R. 558 we are of opinion that subsection (1) does not apply. The charge was murder, the p
articulars of which do not necessarily include aggravated assault. A section in similar terms to subsection (2) however, has been construed in East Africa as permitting such a substitution provided the lesser offence is cognate in character and provided t
he accused person had a fair opportunity of making his defence to the alternative charge. We refer to the cases of }{\rtlch\fcs1 \ai\af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \i\fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid10843325\charrsid12327338 Robert Ndecho v. R}{

The minor offence we would refer to here, is the felony of being an accessory after the fact (contrary to section 424 of the Penal Code) to the felony, of unlawfully doing grievous harm to Jitendra Singh (Penal Code section 258). It is amply clear from hi
s statements that the second appellant knew that the first appellant had hit Jitendra Singh heavily enough on the back of the head with an iron pipe to render him almost immediately unconscious; and that to the appellant}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 
\ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid12983927 '}{\rtlch\fcs1 \af0\afs24 \ltrch\fcs0 \fs24\lang2057\langfe5129\langnp2057\insrsid10843325\charrsid13967841 s knowledge he remained unconscious 
until left on the railway line at Saweni. It is to our mind incontrovertible that the second appellant was aware of the serious consequences of such a blow and become an accessory after the fact to the offence we have mentioned. The offence is clearly a m
inor and cognate one, and the second appellant had every opportunity of making his defence to it. It was therefore open to the Supreme Court to have imposed that conviction.

We are satisfied therefore that the case is one which calls for the exercise of our powers under section 24(2) of the Court of Appeal Ordinance (Cap. 8) which reads:

some other offence, and on the findings of the judge it appears to the Court of Appeal that the judge must have been satisfied of facts which proved him guilty of that other offence, the Court may, instead of allowing o
