[2007] EWHC 1163 (QB)

A minimum term of 14 years' imprisonment for murder was appropriate where it was highly unlikely that the Home Secretary would have differed from the recommendation of the trial judge in sentencing the offender for a premeditated killing of a vulnerable old man, and where the offender had chosen to drink knowing that alcohol made him aggressive and liable to offend.
