Wife/vulner bale dependent of accused dying within the confines of his house---Burden of proof--

 Wife/vulner bale dependent of accused dying within the confines of his house---Burden of proof---Scope---Wherea wife or vulner able dependent of a person died an unnatural death in the house of such person then some part of the onus/obligation laid on him to establish the circumstances in which such unnatural death had occurred---Where, however, the entire case of the prosecution stood demolished or was found to be utterly unbelievable then an accused person could not be convicted merely because he did not explain the circumstances in which his wife or some vulner able dependent had lost his life---Entire burden of proof could not be shifted to the accused in that regard, if the case of the prosecution itself collapsed.
