Kamal Reddy appeals life sentence for murder

From Checkpoint, 5:42 pm on 28 November 2019

A man who murdered his ex-girlfriend and her young daughter and hid their bodies under a bridge in Auckland is appealing his prison sentence.

Kamal Reddy killed Pakeeza Yusuf in late 2006 by strangling her with an iron chord, and used a pillow to kill her daughter Jojo.

Reddy was sentenced to life in prison in 2016, but is challenging that in the Court of Appeal.
