The Case
Although account had been taken of the fact that the offender had made constructive use of his time in prison and was genuinely remorseful for what he had done, the court decided that the minimum term of 14 years imposed on the offender for the murder of the deceased in circumstances where he had fatally stabbed the deceased in the chest with a knife was appropriate and should remain unchanged.
