Where an appellant voluntarily surrendered and provided substantial, credible assistance and evidence at real risk to himself and his family, the Court will treat such a defendant as within the 'supergrass' category and allow a discount up to two-thirds of an appropriate starting point; applied to facts, A1 qualified for two-thirds reduction, A2 and A3 merited greater discounts than imposed by trial judge, A4 did not and his appeal was refused; starting points adopted by trial judge were appropriate in each case given gravity and aggravating features.
