The appellant was convicted of second-degree murder of his wife following a trial by jury.
The Crown's theory was that the appellant attempted a planned murder-suicide.
The defence argued an unknown assailant was responsible.
The appellant was sentenced to life imprisonment with parole ineligibility of 15 years.
On appeal, the appellant challenged the trial judge's jury instructions regarding the mental state required for murder, the treatment of the appellant's post-offence conduct and suicide attempt, and alleged imbalance in the instructions.
The appellant also made unsupported claims that evidence and exhibits were tampered with.
The Court of Appeal dismissed both the conviction and sentence appeals.
