A man convicted of the murder of a father of six in front of his wife and children has failed in his latest appeal on a point of law.

Two Dublin brothers who were found guilty of murdering a father-of-six in front of his wife and children have begun an appeal against their conviction for a second time.

The State Pathologist has told the trial of brothers Warren and Jeffrey Dumbrell, that the man they're accused of murdering died from a stab wound that severed major blood vessels in his leg causing massive blood loss.

Two Dublin brothers who were convicted of stabbing a father of six to death nearly four years ago, are due to be re-tried next January after their murder convictions were quashed.

The convictions of two brothers found guilty of murdering a father of six are unsafe because of comments included in a widely-publicised speech at UCC during their trial by Mr Justice Paul Carney, the Court of Criminal Appeal heard today.
