Facts of the Case
Background
The accused was convicted of escaping from lawful custody while serving a sentence for unlawful entry. The trial magistrate brought into effect a suspended sentence from the previous conviction, which required the condition that the accused not commit an offence involving dishonesty. The High Court found this was a misdirection as escaping custody is not an offence involving dishonesty in the context of the suspended sentence condition.
