[2008] EWCA Crim 59

A minimum term of 11 years' imprisonment for an offence of murder was, in the circumstances, manifestly excessive having regard to the relevant mitigation and the young offender's plea of guilty alone was sufficient to reduce that sentence to a lesser period. A minimum term of nine years' imprisonment was substituted.
