    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA851/2006

    The magistrate's sentences were appropriate and not manifestly excessive, but on humanitarian grounds — notably the 2nd appellant's pregnancy and the appellants' family circumstances not previously presented to the magistrate — each appellant's sentence was reduced by three months; the appellants' reduced culpability due to influence by their husbands was recognised.
