R. v. Iddi Noel, Crim. Rev. 65-D-67; 14/6/67; Georges, C.J.
Accused was convicted of entering a dwelling house with intent to steal. The only evidence connecting accused with the crime was the testimony of two children, neither of whom testified under oath.
Held: Criminal Procedure Code, section 152, requires that where evidence is given not on oath or affirmation by a child, “the accused shall not be convicted unless such evidence is corroborated by some other material evidence in support thereof.” Unsworn testimony, which itself needs corroboration, cannot be used as corroboration for other unsworn testimony.
