Notorious wife-killer Chris Dawson is seeking to overturn his conviction for sexual activity with one of his teenage students after a bid to appeal his murder verdict failed.

The 76-year-old was convicted at Sydney’s Downing Centre District Court in June 2023 of a historical charge of carnal knowledge as a teacher of a girl over 10 and under 17.
