The Supreme Court upheld the conviction of a father for his son’s death, stressing that strong circumstantial evidence can sustain a conviction even without proof of motive. The Court found a complete chain of evidence pointing to guilt: gunshot residue on the appellant's hand, no blood on the screwdriver claimed to be the suicide weapon, and ballistic reports confirming a gunshot from close but not contact range. It rejected the suicide theory based on medical and ballistic findings. False explanations by the accused further strengthened the case. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the trial court and High Court's judgment.
