[2009] EWCA Crim 2169

A suspended sentence of 52 weeks' imprisonment for offences of unlawful wounding and aggravated burglary was unduly lenient and was replaced with a total sentence of three years and six months' imprisonment. Although violence had not been used during the aggravated burglary, that point receded in significance when violence was used moments later, giving rise to the unlawful wounding offence.
