Under the Abolition of Mandatory Death Penalty Act 2023 the court exercised its newly conferred discretion and held that the facts did not constitute an ‘extreme’ case warranting death; the High Court’s imposition of death was therefore set aside and substituted with a determinate prison term (35 years) and 15 strokes of the cane, to run from date of arrest.
