R v Mohloki and Others (CRI/A 61 of 94) [1996] LSHC 36 (26 February 1996)
The conviction for robbery was upheld as all elements were present and appellants pleaded guilty, but the mandatory ten-year sentence was quashed as it induced a sense of shock and did not fit the circumstances; a sentence of eighteen months' imprisonment was imposed instead.
