The Court of Appeal dismissed Dominik Biber’s appeal against the sentence imposed for attempted murder, false imprisonment and aggravated burglary. It found no error of principle and held that the sentence was not disproportionate or unduly severe.

Biber had received a headline sentence of 17 years, reduced to 13 years with the final two years suspended on conditions. The appeal court said the attack involved repeated stabbing, invasion of two homes and terror for several occupants; it concluded that these aggravating features justified a sentence in the high range.
