ATTORNEY-GENERAL'S REFERENCE (NOS. 72 AND 73 of 2005) sub nom R v ALUN TILLEY: R v JEFFREY THOMAS (2005)

PUBLISHED October 7, 2005
SHARE

The court expressed concern regarding the extent to which R v Frisby [2002] 1 Cr App R (S) 68 should be followed. Since the enactment of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 and the approach to be adopted when sentencing for murder, whereby the disposal of a body could form an aggravating feature, it was possible that the disposal of the body could also form an aggravating feature when sentencing for manslaughter offences.
