The applicant's application for leave to appeal was refused because the sentence of eight years' imprisonment (per count concurrent after plea) was not manifestly excessive: the offences were planned, showed high culpability given the deliberate attempt to kill three very young and vulnerable children in the applicant's care, and the judge properly balanced mitigation, public abhorrence, deterrence and risk of reoffending.
