The Law Officers have 28 days from sentencing to consider this case.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Attorney General may decide to refer the case to the Court of Appeal for re-sentencing if they feel the original tariff is too lenient.<br \/>\nCardiff Crown Court heard Saunders had decided to kill Miss Morgan in September after their relationship had broken down earlier last year.<br \/>\nMiss Morgan later met Mr Simmons at the Matalan store in Cardiff city centre where she was working at the time. After learning of the new relationship, Saunders sent Miss Morgan abusive messages threatening to injure or kill Mr Simmons.<br \/>\nIn the days leading up to the murder, Saunders googled a number of subjects including \u201cthe easiest way to kill a person\u201d and \u201chow to slit someone\u2019s throat successfully\u201d. On 20 September, he visited Morrison\u2019s and bought two knives which are believed to have been used as the murder weapons.<br \/>\nEarly in the morning on 28 September Saunders attacked the couple outside the Matalan store, stabbing Mr Simmons repeatedly with the smaller of the two knives and then with the larger one. He then ran after Miss Morgan and attacked her with the second knife.<br \/>\nIn total Mr Simmons sustained 14 injuries while Miss Morgan received 32.<br \/>\nShortly after the attack, Saunders phoned his mother to tell her what had happened and to say he was going to kill himself. Reportedly, his mother persuaded him to come home, where he was later arrested by police.<br \/>\nAt the sentencing Mrs Davies told Saunders: \u201cIn a sustained and brutal attack you ended those lives. You took away the futures of Lee Simmons and Zoe Morgan.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Attorney General\u2019s Office has highlighted the fact that cases are not often referred to the Court of Appeal after a sentence has been given.<br \/>\nA spokesperson said: \u201cThe threshold to refer cases to the Court of Appeal is very high. \u00a0A sentence can only be regarded as unduly lenient if there has been a gross error and it is significantly below the level that any judge could have reasonably imposed after considering the facts of the case.\u201d<br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A decision on the case will be made by the March 28.<\/span><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<b>How was the sentence reached?<\/b><br \/>\nIn any case involving murder, a judge must first decide on the starting point for a minimum term of imprisonment, which depends on the severity of the particular case.<br \/>\nMrs Justice Nicola Davies deemed the seriousness of Saunders\u2019 offences to be \u201cparticularly high\u201d and set the starting point at 30 years.<br \/>\nA judge must then consider the specific circumstances of a case &#8212; termed \u201caggravating\u201d or \u201cmitigating\u201d factors &#8212; that can reduce or increase the minimum term.<br \/>\nThe aggravating factors identified by the judge included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> A \u201csignificant degree of planning and premeditation\u201d by Mr Saunders<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The mental and physical suffering inflicted on each victim prior to death<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The use of the two knives in the murders<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The public location of the murders.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The mitigating factors included:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Saunders\u2019 expression of remorse<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His lack of previous convictions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His \u201cemotional distress at the time of the killing\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">His \u201cinability to adequately manage\u201d the distress due to his age.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Having taken account of these factors, the judge set the starting point for the minimum term of custody at 28 years.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, Saunders was awarded the maximum credit for pleading guilty to the murders, which is calculated at one-sixth of the minimum term.
