[2007] UKPC 21

The case of R v Mushtaq (Ashfaq Ahmed) (2005) UKHL 25, (2005) 1 WLR 1513 was applicable in Jamaica, so that a jury should be directed to disregard a confession if they concluded that it was, or might have been, obtained by oppression. In the instant case there was no basis upon which the jury could have reached those conclusions.

PC (Jam) (Lord Bingham of Cornhill, Lord Phillips of Worth Matravers, Lord Carswell, Lord Brown of Eaton-under-Heywood, Lord Hoffmann)
