The sentencing judge erred by failing to distinguish between the culpability of the ringleader (D1) who delivered the fatal and particularly vicious blow and the lesser roles of D2 and D3; accordingly the court allowed the appeals and substituted lower, differentiated sentences for D2 and D3 (D2: 5 years; D3: 6 years) while upholding the need for deterrence in triad-related planned attacks.
