\par [1] You have been found guilty in the Judgment of this Court of the offence of murder contrary to section 199 and section 200 of the Penal Code, Cap. 17.
\par 
\par [2] You murdered somebody for money on the orders it seems of a commercial enemy in the jewellery trade. This is Fiji in 2006 not Chicago of the 1920s or Southern Italy of the twentieth century.
\par 
\par [3] You admitted this murder in a cautioned interview which was obviously voluntarily made by you. You did not know the victim but for $20,000 you agreed to kill him without even knowing why he was to be killed. 
You only received $2,000 of your contract fee which you spent on alcohol. To take the life of another for money, not matter how much, is a tragedy of the utmost gravity. 
You took away the father of a long awaited baby, the exemplary employee of a manufacturing jeweller and a cherished friend of at least 3 witnesses before this Court. All because of your greed. This Court has not one ounce of sympathy for your predicament.

\par 
\par [4] I am mandated by law to pass a life time term of imprisonment on you, and to reflect the abhorrence of the community for contract killings, I order that you will serve a minimum term of 16 years before you will be eligible for parole.
