[2008] EWCA Crim 2027
Sentences of five-and-a-half years' imprisonment imposed on two offenders for manslaughter, which was the consequence of persistent violent bullying and recklessness, were unduly lenient and did not sufficiently reflect the required elements of punishment and deterrence. Sentences of seven-and-a-half-years' imprisonment were substituted.
