The Lady Carr of Walton-on-the-Hill, CJ :
Introduction
The Facts in Summary
The Sentence Below
The Grounds of Application
Analysis
(1) That the sustained nature of the attack with 57 knife wounds was irrelevant; it was a product of her substantial impairment in self-control and so should not have been treated as an aggravating factor of seriousness; and
(2) That it should not be evidence of an intention to kill.
Conclusion
