Dr Sanjoy Kumar and Dr Sinead O’Malley, the parents of Ms O’Malley-Kumar, were in court for the ruling.

But Calokane’s Peter Joyce KC said no crime had been committed “apart from mental illness” and imposing a compound order meant “being punished on the basis of mental illness”.
The appellate court judges could not consider or change the crime for which Calocane was convicted, nor could they consider new evidence relevant to the case.
