The repeated summing-up phrasing that the appellant had ordered the shop to be 'blown up' misdirected the jury by implying knowledge of and intent for an explosion causing death or serious injury; that misdirection was materially prejudicial and required quashing of the murder conviction, but the jury's findings established unlawful dangerous act manslaughter which the Court substituted under s83A CPO and imposed a 26‑year concurrent sentence given extreme culpability.
