Conviction upheld; life sentence was appropriate and remained undisturbed, but the 30-year minimum term was manifestly excessive and contrary to the statutory scheme because it effectively removed the Long-Term Prisoners Review Board's realistic ability to consider release; appellate court substituted a 10-year minimum term under section 67B CPO Cap.221 taking into account age, guilty plea and the Board's review function.
