[2007] EWHC 1265 (QB)

It was appropriate to uphold a recommendation of the trial judge to impose a minimum term of 20 years for murder where the aggravating factors of the use of firearms and dismemberment and disposal of the body required a higher term but it was necessary to limit it to that which would have been imposed under the previous practice of the Home Secretary.
