Secondly,

injuries caused on the deceased were accidentally caused by the knife
as the two were tussling for the possession of that knife.
This
would not make sense given the various points on the deceased's
body which came under attack and the depth of those wounds as
described by the post mortem report – exhibit 2.

further weakness the accused's story that of all the injuries that
he purports to have sustained from the deceased, none were seen by
the State witnesses, and, further, that he was never treated for such
wounds. If there were any such injuries, the police, in their wisdom,
could not have failed to note them and facilitated his treatment.
