A double murderer has brought High Court proceedings seeking to overturn a “grossly disproportionate” decision that effectively bans him from living in his family home where he murdered his wife 22 years ago.

Declan Power was convicted in 2003 at the Central Criminal Court after pleading guilty to murdering Joan Power (40) and publican Maurice Curran (48), with whom he suspected his wife was having an affair.
