Two men jailed for life for a horrific double murder at a Gwent taxi office have failed to convince Appeal Court judges they were the victims of a miscarriage of justice.
Amidst claims that their trial was mishandled and the jury did not hear crucial evidence, Michael Attwooll, 64, and John Roden, 42, asked Appeal Court judges to clear their names.
The pair, both from Risca, were convicted of the murder of taxi firm boss, Gerald Stevens, and his girlfriend, Christine Rees, at Newport Crown Court in June 1995.
