Wife murderer sees appeal rejected

The Court of Criminal Appeal has today rejected claims made on behalf of convicted murderer Brian Kearney that the quality of the circumstantial evidence in the case against him was insufficient to exclude the possibility that someone else murdered his wife Siobhan.

Last July three judge CCA, with Mr Justice Nicholas Kearns presiding and sitting with Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne and Mr Justice John MacMenamin dismissed Kearney's appeal against his conviction for the murder of his wife Siobhan at their Dublin home.
