Woman convicted of 'astonishing and ghoulish' manslaughter loses appeal

A mother-of-four has lost an appeal against her conviction and 10-year sentence for killing an English new-age traveller and submerging his body in a slurry pit.

The Court of Criminal Appeal has found it was “by no means convinced” that the conviction of Una Geaney for the “astonishing and ghoulish” manslaughter of Gary Bull was either unsafe or unsatisfactory.
