Murderer Michael Stone’s legal team, led by barrister Mark McDonald, say they could challenge the decision in the courts. His sister Barbara said Stone is ‘disappointed but not surprised’
Jailed Chillenden killer Michael Stone has spoken from prison after a bid to appeal his conviction was blocked – as his barrister threatened legal action.
The prisoner – jailed for the 1996 murder of Dr Lin Russell and her daughter Megan in Kent – has been told his case will not be referred to the Court of Appeal.
The Criminal Case Review Commission made the decision despite claims Milly Dowler killer Levi Bellfield, 54, had penned a signed confession to the hammer attack.
Now Stone’s legal team, led by barrister Mark McDonald, say they could challenge the CCRC in the courts with a judicial review.
