A man who stood accused of having a poo during the burglary of a coffee shop has been found not guilty – despite his soiled underpants being found at the scene.

Wesley Matthew King faced four charges after a Braddon café was broken into back in 2014.

Taking ecstasy is more dangerous than ever beforeAround $4,000 (About £2,090) in cash, an iPod and car keys were stolen from the café and dirty pants were left behind at the crime scene at Lonsdale Street Roasters.

DNA testing proved the dirty underwear belonged to King – though that is not evidence enough to convict him of the theft.




Chief Justice Helen Murrell claimed she couldn’t ignore the possibility that another person might have been wearing the pants stained with King’s excrement.

She said: ‘I am not satisfied that guilt is the only available rational interference.

‘There is, for example, a reasonable [albeit small] possibility that the burglar was someone else who was wearing unwashed underpants that had previously been worn by the accused.’

King was subsequently cleared of all charges.
