Citation

TSANG KAM CHEONG v. R.
Court

Court of Appeal
Case number

CACC623/1993

Although the court considered that the facts supported a conviction for murder and the plea of manslaughter should not have been accepted, on the constrained basis of manslaughter the offending was of the worst kind justifying the highest available punishment and, given three separate violent episodes, overwhelming evidence and the applicant's dangerousness, the aggregate sentence of 31 years was not excessive and the application for leave to appeal was refused.
