    The accused was tortured by police to obtain a confession and reenactment of the crime.

As such, the confession and pictures of the reenactment were inadmissible as evidence. Additionally, the evidence presented did not support a conviction and the trial court's findings were not supported by competent evidence. Therefore, the Supreme Court set aside the judgment and acquitted the accused.
