English translation of the principle

The judgment's statement and demonstration, which the appellant does not dispute, that he intentionally killed the male victim with premeditation. The failure to find the female victim's body and the weapon used in the incident, or proof that the female victim had previously attempted suicide, does not undermine the establishment of the offense against him.
Arabic original
إيراد الحكم وتدليله بما لا يماري فيه الطاعن أنه قتل المجني عليه عمداً مع سبق الإصرار. لا يقدح في ثبوت الجريمة في حقه عدم العثور على جثة المجني عليها والسلاح المستعمل في الحادث أو ثبوت سبق محاولة المجني عليها الانتحار.
