The accused was charged with first-degree murder after fatally stabbing his twin sister's boyfriend in the abdomen following a physical altercation.
The accused claimed self-defence, defence of his sister, and accident, arguing he only intended to intimidate the victim.
The court rejected these defences, finding the accused acted out of anger and vengeance rather than a genuine belief of a threat.
However, considering the accused's youth, intoxication, and extreme anger, the court found a reasonable doubt as to whether he possessed the specific intent for murder.
The accused was acquitted of murder but found guilty of manslaughter.
