Kearney lodges grounds for murder appeal

BRIAN KEARNEY has lodged the grounds for his appeal against his conviction for the murder of his wife Siobhan at their family home in south Dublin two years ago.

The reasons for the appeal by the jailed electrical contractor were lodged before the courts closed for the summer break.

It is expected a hearing on the appeal by the 51-year-old will not take place until early next year.
