The NL Court of Appeal has confirmed that Dean Penney has filed an appeal of his conviction in the murder of his estranged wife Jennifer Hillier-Penney.
Penney was handed a mandatory life sentence in Corner Brook Supreme Court on September 11th after a jury found him guilty of first-degree murder.
The case against Penney weighed heavily on evidence gathered in a so-called Mr. Big sting.
Thirty-eight-year-old Jennifer Hillier-Penney was last seen at Dean Penney’s house on Husky Drive in St. Anthony on November 30, 2016. Her body has never been found.
