After applying established appellate principles and weighing aggravating factors (seriousness of offence and loss of life) against mitigating factors (first offender status, prolonged remand ~7 years, age at arrest, family dependents, low income, remorse) and sentencing trends, the Court found the trial judge's 17-year term excessive and substituted a 15-year imprisonment term to run from the date of arrest as the appropriate and proportionate sentence.
