The Court found the judge had not given sufficient weight to the accepted psychiatric evidence of an acute adjustment disorder; while the offence was grave and warranted a substantial term, the original notional starting point was manifestly excessive. A starting point of 6 years was appropriate, and applying a one‑third discount for the guilty plea reduced the concurrent sentences to 4 years imprisonment, which the Court substituted for the original 7-year sentences.
