THE man who murdered pensioner Jenny Methven has abandoned his appeal against his conviction and sentence, it has emerged.
William Kean was found guilty at the High Court in Glasgow in August of bludgeoning 80-year-old Mrs Methven to death at her rural cottage near Forteviot, Perthshire.
Judge Lord Glennie sentenced him to life in jail and ordered that he serve at least 22 years before being considered for release.
