1. The applicant pleaded not guilty to murder but guilty to manslaughter on the ground of diminished responsibility when he appeared before Saw J on 18 February 2008. Having heard the mitigation advanced by Mr Loughran, who also appears in these proceedings, the judge then adjourned sentencing until 22 February 2008 at which time he imposed a term of 8 years’ imprisonment. The applicant now seeks leave to appeal against his sentence on the ground that it is manifestly excessive.
