Killer Sainey Marong's appeal against murder conviction denied


JOHN KIRK-ANDERSON/STUFF Sainey Marong was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole term of 18 years for the murder of Christchurch woman Renee Duckmanton. Justice Miller said it was not known who wrote the report or on what basis the diagnosis was reached. It appeared the report was commissioned before Marong's trial. The rest of Marong's evidence was a combination of legal submissions and information about his mental state before trial. In dismissing Marong's appeal, Justice Miller said the material submitted did not support a finding of insanity and he declined to admit the affidavits.
