Akụkụ abụọ a nke iwu Singapore, ihe na-adịghị mkpa maka ihe akaebe nke mens rea (ebumnuche ikpe mara) na amamikpe iwu, akatọwo maka ikwekọghị na ụkpụrụ iwu mba ụwa.[8] Ndị ọka iwu Tochi gbachitere onwe ha. Ebe ọ bụ na isi ihe nke mpụ bụ mens rea, ndị na-agbachitere ya chọrọ igosi na Tochi enweghị mens rea, na ọ bụ naanị onye dị afọ iri na asatọ si n'obodo nta Naijiria nke chọrọ ịkwalite ọrụ ya na bọọlụ wee hụ Maazị Smith onye jiri ya mee ihe. Ọzọkwa, e nwere ihe akaebe zuru ezu na Tochi amaghị na o nwere diamorphine. Dị ka ndị na-agbachitere ya si kwuo, ọ bụrụ na Tochi maara nke ahụ, ọ gaara agbapụ mgbe ndị ọrụ họtel gwara ya na a kpọrọ ndị uwe ojii. O meghị ya, ọbụnakwa gbalịa iwepụ ọgwụ ndị ahụ.

Tochi kwetara na nkwupụta ya na ọ maara na o nwere capsules n'aka ya; nakwa na ya na Smith kwenyere inye Marshal capsules maka ịkwụ ụgwọ US $ 2000. Na ikpe ya, Justice Kan Ting Chiu kwuru na Tochi nwere ike ọ maghị na capsules nwere diamorphine. O dere na "Enweghị ihe akaebe doro anya na [Amara Tochi] maara na capsules nwere diamorphine.

A ghaghị inwe ihe mere Smith ji nye ya nnukwu ego US $ 2000 iji nyefee capsules nke ahịhịa mgbe ọ na-akwụ ụgwọ maka njem ya na Dubai na Singapore.[9]
Kan found that Tochi knew that Smith was a man who would break the law as Smith had arranged for false visas and endorsements to be entered into the first accused's passport to facilitate his travels. He must have realised that Smith was offering him much more than was reasonable for putting him through the minor inconvenience of meeting up with Marshal at the airport terminal and handing the capsules to him. He should have asked to be shown and be assured of t.[9]
Kan chọpụtakwara na ọ kpachapụrụ anya tụgharịrị anya n'ihe dị n'ime capsules n'ihi na US $ 2000 nwara ya, nke bụ nnukwu ego nye ya. Mgbe Smith, onye mere ya enyi ma gosipụta na ọ na-enyere ya aka ịpụ na Pakistan, nyekwara ya US $ 2,000, ọ chọghị ịjụ ajụjụ ọ bụla ma ọ bụ nyochaa capsules n'onwe ya.
