The Leave to appeal requested by the convicted Ian Previte against his sentence laid over the murder of Caroline Stuttle has been refused by the Queensland judiciary.

Previte is sentenced to life imprisonment for murder as well as an additional ten years, to run concurrently, for the robbery that occurred in April 2002. He was sentenced in October 2004.

Prosecutors said Previte had boasted of killing the Caroline during conversations with cellmates which were secretly recorded.

Caroline Stuttle, a 19-year-old student from York in Britain, was on a working holiday in April 2002 when she was attacked while walking across a bridge in the coastal town of Bundaberg in the north eastern state of Queensland in Australia.

She was thrown off a bridge to her death.
