Lawyers acting for David Gilroy, 50, told the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh that he had been the victim of a miscarriage of justice.
Gilroy, formerly of Silverknowes, Edinburgh, was jailed for life at the city's high court in April for murdering Suzanne in May 2010. The office worker – whose body has never been recovered – went missing following the May Day holiday that year.
