Dear PAO,I heard from a news report that there was this lady, A, whose body was found dead inside the apartment unit of her boyfriend, B. B denied having any knowledge as to the death of A and claimed that he just found the body of A when he came home from work.
But some of B's neighbors stated that they saw A and B arrive at the latter's apartment unit the night before A's body was found. They also heard noises from B's apartment that night, as though the two were in a huge fight. It was not an isolated situation according to the neighbors, as they heard the couple fight very often in the past, and they noticed bruises on A's face, arms, or legs.
The Rules of Court allows resort to circumstantial evidence provided the following conditions are satisfied, to wit: there is more than one circumstance; the facts from which the inferences are derived are proven; and the combination of all the circumstances is such as to produce a conviction beyond reasonable doubt.
