Statement From Attorney-General Yvette D'Ath 24 July

Attorney-General and Minister for Justice and Minister for the Prevention of Domestic and Family Violence The Honourable Yvette D'Ath

After receiving advice from the Director of Public Prosecutions I have made the decision to appeal the sentences given to two juvenile offenders convicted over a home invasion involving the Kefu family.

Appeals have been lodged on the grounds the sentences imposed were manifestly inadequate, having regard to the maximum penalty and the declaration that some of the offences were heinous.
