Father who killed sons to have case reviewed

A FATHER who stabbed his two young sons to death and tried to set them on fire has had his case referred back to the appeal court.

Ashok Kalyanjee pled guilty to murdering his six-year-old son Paul and three-year-old Jay in a car at a beauty spot near Lennoxtown in East Dunbartonshire in May 2008.

He was sentenced to life imprisonment and ordered to serve a minimum of 21 years by Judge Lord Brailsford, who described the murders as "awful".
