In June, Richard Satchwell was sentenced to life for the murder of his wife, Tina - a conviction that brought relief to a grieving family, and closure to a community that had searched and waited for six long years. But Satchwell says the court and jury got it wrong. Now, from behind the walls of Limerick Prison, he's preparing an appeal on at least six grounds, insisting he never intended to kill Tina.

The boy, who cannot be named as he was aged 17 at the time of the offences, fatally stabbed Emma Lovell in the heart after he broke into her family's house north of Brisbane about 11.30pm on Boxing Day in 2022.
