Although the trial judge erred in part of the summing up by suggesting that intent to cause grievous bodily harm could suffice for attempted murder, the evidence of the contents of the parcel and the force of the explosion inevitably supported a conviction for attempted murder; accordingly the proviso was applied and the conviction was upheld. The trial judge erred in taking remission into account when fixing sentence; applying totality principles the Court reduced the sentence on count one to 20 years and ordered count two to run concurrently, reducing the total term to 20 years.
