SENTENCE
(First Accused only)

I have taken into account all that you have said in mitigation. I have borne in mind your antecedent history.

I cannot see how the Court can avoid imposing a custodial sentence on you.

You stand convicted of a very serious offence in respect of which the Legislature has imposed a maximum sentence of imprisonment for life, with or without corporal punishment.

You are sentenced to imprisonment for 6 (six) years.

Delivered in Open Court this 13th day of August, 1996.
