The Court of Criminal Appeal has dismissed a Dublin man's appeal against his conviction for the murder of a Chinese student who died after he was stabbed during a robbery.

Today the CCA comprised of Ms Justice Fidelma Macken, presiding sitting with Mr Justice Declan Budd and Mr Justice Daniel Herbert, rejected claims by Derek Wade, of Church Avenue, Rialto, that his convicted in March 2007 of the murder of Zhi Song (aged 23)was unsafe and should be quashed.
