- Court of Appeal
The Court held s 104(1)(e) was engaged because the cumulative facts — premeditation and vigilante intent, a prolonged brutal unprovoked 30-minute attack to the head, and degrading post-mortem treatment — demonstrated a high level of callousness; the 17-year non-parole period was not manifestly unjust and was affirmed.
