In a pre-trial motion for charges of aggravated sexual assault related to HIV non-disclosure, the court assessed the admissibility of the accused's police statement.
The court found several issues with the police conduct, including a missing minute of video recording, improper communication between officers, and failure to provide sufficient information regarding outstanding warrants before the accused waived his right to counsel.
Crucially, police breached a remand warrant by returning the accused to the police station instead of a detention centre.
The court ruled the statement inadmissible, finding the Crown failed to prove voluntariness.
