Given the violent nature of the offence (use of a knife, threats to kill, multiple injuries), absence of consent, and need for deterrence and public protection, the trial court did not err in principle and the 18-year imprisonment with 5 strokes is not manifestly excessive; mitigating factors of youth and drug influence were not sufficiently weighty to justify reduction; therefore appeal against sentence dismissed and original sentence upheld.
