of the Sentence in the above Case

________________________


COURT: Defendant, you have been found guilty by the jury for the offence of murder. As your counsel rightly says, the court has no flexibility in this offence. It is the most serious offence you can commit. And by law, the only sentence I can impose is one of life imprisonment, to which I so do.
