Jenny Methven murder: Killer William Kean launches appeal

THE man found guilty of murdering pensioner Jenny Methven has launched an appeal against his conviction and sentence.

William Kean was sentenced to a minimum of 22 years in prison at the High Court in Glasgow in August.

The 46-year-old denied murdering the 80-year-old at her home in Forteviot, Perthshire.

A High Court of Justiciary spokeswoman has confirmed papers have been lodged to appeal both his conviction and sentence.

Kean’s family insisted he is innocent.
