Appeal from conviction of murder: ‘whether the judge erred in admitting into evidence the police questioning of the appellant that was conducted at a time when he was treated as a volunteer rather than as a suspect and he was not given a full caution.
Secondly, there is an application to add a further ground of appeal based on fresh evidence. This concerns the reliability of expert evidence given at trial concerning similarities between mud stains on seat covers from the appellant’s car and samples of mud taken from the area where the body of the deceased was recovered.’
