Epic fail

Interesting that the victim's family are satisfied with the sentence.

They agreed with the Judge's application of sentencing guidelines. Not often you see that.

"In his pre-sentence report he was described as very open and frank in regard to what had taken place. It shows him to be genuinely remorseful. He is deemed as a low risk of offending.”

Sentencing, chair of the bench Mr Manu Mistry said: “Firstly, I offer my sincere condolences to the family of Mr Niaza. This has been a difficult case for us to sentence and it is regretful that parties have had to attend court in such tragic circumstances. There is no punishment any court can impose that can mitigate a loss of life. ''

Speaking after the hearing, Mr Niazi's daughter Rozanna said: “The sentence was very fair. Nothing is going to bring my dad back. It’s very sad because it’s not only for me but also for my extended family. He was funding someone in medical school in Pakistan.

“I personally wouldn’t want anybody to be sent to prison, I wouldn’t want to deprive someone of their husband or father. My father was a well loved man and we miss him.”
