Wambura Kirangi v. R., Crim. App. 820-M-67, 24/11/67, Cross J.
Accused was convicted of unlawfully doing grievous harm. [P.C. s. 225.] In his plea he said, “I admit to have wounded the person.” This was recorded as a plea of guilty.
Held: Although this may well be a plea of guilty to a charge under section 228 of the Penal Code, it was not an unequivocal plea of guilty to a charge brought under section 225, for it does not admit doing “grievous harm”. Conviction quashed.
