Toetu Falemanu Tui Saili, 40, pleaded guilty to injuring Phillips with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, by stomping on his head after the stabbing, and breaching conditions of his release from prison. He was sentenced to two years and three months’ jail and will also be considered for parole soon. The time spent in custody awaiting resolution of the charges counted towards their eventual sentences. They became eligible to be considered for parole after serving one-third of their term, which both had by the time they were sentenced on Friday.
