The official who conducted forensic examinations on case properties was presented as a witness in the court to testify on his report. He deposed that the empties provided to him by the investigation officer did not match the weapons seized from the accused. The judge recorded his statement and directed him to appear again on the next hearing on July 15 for cross examination by
