The court upheld the life sentences and 18‑year minimum term on the two rape counts but held the aggravated burglary offences did not warrant discretionary life sentences; it allowed the appeal against sentence on aggravated burglary and substituted determinate sentences of 6 years 8 months on each count (second to run consecutively to the first totalling 9 years) to run concurrently with the life sentences on the rape counts, and confirmed that an 18‑year minimum term on the rape counts was fully justified on the facts despite consideration of remission principles.
