A man appealing his 10-year non-parole period for a gangster-style kidnapping and shooting has had his term lowered.
Leighton Gavin Brian Fairbairn was sentenced in 2003 to 15 years' jail on eight charges, with a minimum non-parole period of 10 years. He had kidnapped and shot a man he believed was implicating him in a 2001 bank robbery.
The Court of Appeal has quashed the non-parole term and replaced it with one of seven years and four months.
His other sentences remained unchanged.
