evidence to be corroborated and connects the relevant
person with the offence, claim or defence.”
“180 (1) Unless otherwise provided in this Act or any
other Act, a court may, in any proceedings, act on the
admitted evidence of a single witness, or a single
document properly proved”
(2) Without prejudice to the generality of subsection (1) a
court shall not, in the following cases act upon the
uncorroborated evidence, except in a criminal case upon
an accused person’s own plea of guilty:(a)
cases of rape and other sexual offences against
complainants;
(b)
claims against the estate of a deceased person;
(c)
cases of sexual misconduct in matrimonial
causes;
(d)
cases of perjury; and
(e)
cases of exceeding speed limit under the Motor
Traffic Act.
Having quoted as above, I now look at the evidence of the
witnesses.
a) PW 1, the victim testified that the accused undressed her
whilst he held a knife in his hand and took off his own
clothes, covered her mouth and thereafter climbed on top of
her. He thereafter inserted his private part into hers.
