The facts
The sentence
1. There was significant planning and premeditation and although no weapons were taken to the scene, there was knowledge that there were weapons at the address.
2. The physical suffering endured by the deceased. He emphasised the use of boiling water as being a significant aggravating feature.
3. The planning of the attack with the intention of humiliation.
4. The assault on Mr Piekarski.
5. The consumption of alcohol.
1. The blows to the deceased were delivered in the main to the deceased's lower limbs rather than his head.
2. The intention was to cause really serious injury rather than death.
3. The applicant had no relevant previous convictions and had expressed remorse.
4. The applicant had suffered from a brain injury and depression. The sentence imposed would mean that he would spend a significant portion of his remaining life, if not all of his remaining life, in custody.
