The court exercised its s67C(4)(b) power to quash the life sentence and substitute a determinate term of 28 years because the attack was premeditated, violent and involved weapons and a co-offender, but the respondent's youth and provision of useful information warranted a limited two-year discount from the assessed 30-year term; other mitigating factors were insufficient to justify further reduction.
