To succeed in the offence of armed robbery the prosecution must establish that:

(a) There was a robbery;

(b) It was carried out with the use of offensive weapons; and

(c) The accused person participated in the robbery.

All of the above must be proved beyond reasonable doubt before a conviction can be sustained. Proof beyond reasonable doubt entails the prosecution producing enough evidence to justify the charge."
