The Court held the robbery and associated attacks objectively fell within the Ma Ping-wah conception of a head-bashing robbery given the deliberate blow(s) to the head with a large machete, attempted further blows and attendant aggravating circumstances; an eight-year starting point is not inappropriate on such facts and the sentencing judge did not err in principle or in applying totality; the aggregate sentence of six years and four months was justified and the appeal was dismissed.
