[2009] EWCA Crim 542

A life sentence with a minimum term of 27 years' imprisonment imposed following a conviction for murder was reduced to 25 years' imprisonment as the original sentence had not sufficiently reflected the lack of intention to kill, the fact that the offence had stemmed from a robbery that had gone wrong and the fact that a significant degree of violence had occurred when the victim was unconscious.
