Court dismisses murder appeal

The Court of Criminal Appeal has dismissed a Dublin man's appeal against his conviction for the murder of "the wrong man" at a caravan park on Easter Sunday more than three years ago.

Stephen Delaney (aged 25) claimed that his conviction for the murder of Anthony Cullen was unsafe on grounds including that the judge at his trial at the Central Criminal Court had erred by refusing to allow the jury at his trial that he was provoked into stabbing his victim.
