[2001] EWCA Crim 1432

Sentences of seven years' imprisonment for manslaughter caused in the course of a street robbery and five years' concurrent imprisonment for attempted robbery were unduly lenient and were replaced with a total term of 10 years, comprising nine years for manslaughter and one year for each of the attempted robberies concurrent with each other but consecutive to the term for manslaughter. The sentence of the third respondent, who was of a younger age and who had been sentenced to a two-year detention and training order concurrent on two offences of conspiracy to rob was not unduly lenient.
