The court exercised its power under s.67C(4)(b) to quash the respondents' indeterminate detention orders and substitute fixed terms because the offence was a serious premeditated triad gang murder justifying a lengthy fixed term (assessed at 32 years) but the respondents' demonstrated rehabilitation and remorse warranted a three-year discount, resulting in substituted sentences of 29 years' imprisonment for each respondent.
