Actus Reus Both Matthew and Andy entered proposing to attack Joe conveying stacked guns at the hour of their entrance. With no obvious explanation on the realities to contest that Joe was absent in his home, subsequently a derivation might be drawn by the jury not proposing something else: R v Verde (2009) [15] Mens Rea: Both Andy and Matthew on the realities proposed to take steps to make injury an individual inside the house on the off chance that he they were upset during the robbery: R v Verde [2009] [16]. They additionally had the weapon for a reason associated with the thievery as talked about but for outfitted burglary: R v Kolb Adams (2007) [17].
