Court reserves judgement as Kearney attempts to appeal wife-murder conviction

The Court of Criminal Appeal reserved judgement today on an attempt by convicted murderer Brian Kearney to have his case heard by the country’s highest court.

Kearney (aged 53), was jailed for life by the Central Criminal Court two years ago for strangling his wife Siobhan to death at their family home in south Dublin and staging the scene to look like a suicide.
