The Court held the 18 month sentence was manifestly inadequate given the deliberate abusive act that caused the death of a vulnerable child, the statutory purpose and increased penalties under the Child Act 2001, and the need for deterrence and public interest; accordingly the appeal was allowed and the sentence increased to 10 years' imprisonment.
