Week commencing: 30 September 2024

 Muzambi v Falkland Islands Development Corporation

This case was dismissed following invitation of parties.

 

R v Rishon Kamoto (this case is subject to reporting restrictions pursuant to section 465 of the Criminal Procedure and Evidence Ordinance 2014)

Mr Kamoto was sentenced, following trial, for one offence of strangulation and one offence of common assault. In respect of the offence of strangulation, the Senior Magistrate had regard to the case of Cook [2023] EWCA Crim 452 and found the appropriate sentence to be one of 2 years immediate custody.  In respect of the common assault the Senior Magistrate found that the offence fell within Culpability A and Harm 1, giving a starting point of a High Community Order.  Taking into account the aggravating and mitigating features of the offence, a 6 months immediate custodial sentence was imposed to run concurrently with the 2 years.  Mr Kamoto's total sentence is 2 years custody.  A restraining order was also made for 8 years.
