We confirm Mr Kantilla was sentenced by Brownhill J this morning. 

In brief:

The Crown submitted that the objective seriousness of the offending may warrant a sentence above the mandatory minimum non-parole period.

Her Honour found that Mr Kantilla intended to cause serious harm, but did not accept beyond a reasonable doubt that he intended to kill.

Her Honour accepted that Mr Kantilla had some cognitive impairment limiting his moral culpability.


Her Honour sentenced Mr Kantilla to:
Life Imprisonment
A non-parole period of 20 years.
