Supreme Court upholds acquittal in wife's murder conspiracy case, says suspicion cannot replace proof in circumstantial evidence cases

The Supreme Court has upheld the acquittal of a woman accused of conspiring with her lover to murder her husband, holding that the prosecution failed to establish a complete chain of circumstances pointing only to the guilt of the accused. The Court reiterated that where a case rests entirely on circumstantial evidence, every link in the chain must be firmly proved and suspicion, however strong, cannot substitute legal proof.
