and

Republic

Respondent

Ruling

1. The applicant vide his application dated March 16, 2023 has sought revision of the sentence on the grounds that the trial court failed to consider the period he spent in custody during sentencing. I have perused the court record and confirm that indeed the applicant was in custody from the date of arrest December 3, 2017 to the date of sentence on March 21, 2022. It is not trite law that the period an accused person spends in custody must be considered during the sentence. I accordingly allow the application and direct that the sentence should be computed to take with effect from December 13, 2017.

RULING, READ AND DELIVERED ON 18TH DAY OF APRIL, 2023. ..........................D. KAVEDZAJUDGE
