[2006] EWCA Crim 3212

A sentence of three-and-a-half years' detention imposed on a defendant following his conviction for wounding with intent was unduly lenient where the offence was set against a background of tribal conflict and the defendant had armed himself with a knife in a public place. The sentence was increased to one of five years' detention.
