LADY JUSTICE MACUR:
The Facts
It was foreseeable that the repeated stab injuries might have caused serious physical or psychological harm. The contents of Andreea's victim personal statement demonstrated that she had suffered serious physical or psychological harm , albeit not amounting to category 1 harm.
