The Court held that a 15‑year starting point for a well planned kidnapping involving chaining, threats and detention for eight days was not excessive; as an excepted offence the mitigating effect of youth, clear record and remorse was limited; the 1st Applicant's assistance in leading police to the victim warranted a one‑year reduction of his sentence (from 10 to 9 years); the 2nd and 3rd Applicants' 10‑year sentences and the 4th Applicant's 6‑year sentence were justified and not manifestly excessive.
