1. Following a retrial before V Bokhary J, the applicant was convicted on 31 March 2006 by a jury of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Although he now seeks leave to appeal against conviction and sentence, it is well settled that the mandatory sentence for murder is not subject to appeal and we can indicate straightaway that the application in regard to sentence is dismissed.
