UK: A postman who was jailed for murdering his wife has taken Royal Mail to an employment tribunal for sacking him.
15th December 2010
After all, who wouldn’t want a murderer delivering his mail?
Roger Kearney, 57, was convicted earlier this year of stabbing Paula Poolton, 40, seven times and putting her body in the boot of a car in an attack in October 2008.
He will not be able to attend the case at Southampton Tribunal on Thursday as he is still serving his sentence.
Despite this he is seeking damages from his former employer for firing him from his £400 a week job.
I am not making this up.
