Man launches appeal to double murder conviction

A Dublin man who was found guilty of the double murder of two Polish mechanics has begun an attempt to have his conviction overturned at the Court of Criminal Appeal.

David Curran (aged 20) was jailed for life by Mr Justice Liam McKechnie in May last year, after a Central Criminal Court jury found him guilty of murdering Pawel Kalite (aged 29) and Marius Szwajkos (aged 27) by stabbing them through the head with a screwdriver.
