Cayman Islands Sentencing Guideline for Violent Offences 2021

This guideline applies to murder, attempted murder, manslaughter and to the five non-fatal offences of violence against a person that commonly come before the courts. The guidelines broadly reflect the approach taken by local case law from both the Cayman Islands' Court of Appeal and the Grand Court, together with the practice of the Summary Court and the legislative provisions in relation to the minimum period within the life sentence for murder.
