JUDGE WILSON
I take it you have read the judgment where Thirion J says, dealing with accused No 3 and fetching the gun
"However, the deceased might have been dead or fatally injured by then.  Since he joined the common purpose after the deceased might already have been killed, he cannot be found guilty of murder.  However, if the accused No 3 believed the deceased was still alive, then he would by his act become guilty of an attempted murder".
So it would appear that the court a quo found that the deceased may have been dead when the shot was fired.  That is, that the banging of the head may have already killed

him.  That was the finding of the court a quo at page 823.  So I do not understand your submission that you said the trial court found the cause of death to be the shooting.  The trial court could not find what the cause of death was.  It was either the injuries inflicted by Harrington or the shooting, as appears at page 823 of the judgment, if you would like to look at it.
