Sharyar Ali has had his minimum sentence for the murder of baby Hunter McGleenon increased. A judge said the original sentence had been 'unduly lenient' and that it was a case 'characterised by gratuitous violence'.
but counsel for the PPS argued that he had received too much credit for his previous clear record.
It also said insufficient weight was given to the aggravating features in the "overwhelming case" against him.Backing those submissions, the court held that the trial judge overestimated mitigation and adopted the wrong starting point in the sentencing process.Lady Chief Justice Dame Siobhan Keegan said: "This case may be characterised by gratuitous violence.The court found Ali had no realistic defence to the charge.
"This was a serious case of murder of a very young child where there was an overwhelming case against the respondent based on the medical evidence and the absence of any explanation as to how this child died.Quashing the original sentence, the judge imposed a revised tariff of 16 years which Ali must serve in jail before he can apply to the Parole Commissioners.
As relatives of the victim in the public gallery applauded the ruling, Dame Siobhan finished by acknowledging their bereavement. She said: "We conclude this judgment by recognising the great loss Ms McGleenon and her family have suffered because of the murder of Hunter. No sentence will change that."
