Court accepted guilty pleas and mitigation but prioritized public interest and deterrence in light of statutory maxima and recent sentencing trends for s39A(2) offences; concluded that concurrent custodial terms of 12 years and 15 years (both backdated to date of arrest) were appropriate and not manifestly excessive; whipping was excluded due to accused's age under s289(c) KTJ.
