Quashed 10 Year Term In WA Manslaughter Appeal
The High Court slowed Cyril Wennan's appeal against a manslaughter conviction over the 1988 Caris Bros Jewellers robbery in Western Australia. The 10 year sentence was quashed and a new trial ordered as justice considered complicity and the proper degree of liability. The case involves Edgar Whitfield, the caretaker found dead, with co-defendants Walsh Flynn and Siverman, who faced murder or manslaughter charges in the earlier proceedings.
