Mark Nash is to appeal one of his murder convictions in the Court of Appeal. Nash was convicted in 2015 of murdering two women whose bodies were discovered in sheltered accommodation in Dublin in 1997. The 44-year-old had pleaded not guilty to the charges at the Central Criminal Court but was found unanimously guilty and received a mandatory life sentence in April 2015. Nash is already serving a life sentence imposed in October 1998 for a separate double murder committed in Ballintober, County Roscommon, and for seriously injuring a woman in August 1997. The Court of Appeal fixed 7 November as the date for the appeal hearing, which is expected to last three days.
