CLAY LAWAY v REPUBLIC 1992 TLR 72

The appellant killed a person. In his defence he said he killed because the deceased had given him poisoned milk. The High Court convicted him of murder. On appeal the Court considered whether the plea of self-defence was available to the appellant. 
Held
The plea of self-defence cannot by any stretch of imagination be applicable to the appellant. Was the appellant by hacking the deceased defending himself from further poisoning? 
Case Information 
Appeal dismissed.
