The court found merit in the appeal: given the applicant's demonstrated progress in custody, limited premeditation, surrender to police and the connection between the prior training centre order and the offence, the 28‑year determinate sentence was excessive; a fixed determinate term remained appropriate (indeterminate term not warranted) and the sentence was reduced to 24 years to reflect these factors and to compensate for the uncredited training centre period.
