Mockett, J.1. The appellant has been convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of one Allu Akkamma by throttling her on 4th December 1938, and it is well to remember that the charge is specific, that the murder was caused by throttling. On the morning of 4th December the deceased was proceeding from Goladi, a village which will be found on the south of the plan, Ex. M, towards a village called Yedlavalasa, which is not marked on the plan, but which it is conceded is beyond Mettavalasa which is to the north of the plan.
