- High Court
The s104 factors of unlawful entry and extreme brutality were established, the defendant's culpability was at the high end of the standard range, provocatory circumstances and prior good character did not materially reduce culpability, and therefore life imprisonment with an MPI of 18 years and 6 months is the appropriate sentence; a concurrent three‑month term for the related family assault is imposed.
