    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCMA1124/1990

    The conviction and sentences are upheld because the evidence of the victim and a corroborating sergeant was cogent and overwhelming such that the girlfriend's pre-trial discussion did not taint the evidence; the injuries described amounted to actual bodily harm; the appellants' intent to inflict the kind of harm was manifest under either subjective or objective tests; the sentencing procedural oversight was inadvertent and did not render the confirmed sentences unlawful.
