A MUM of two boys stabbed to death by their father has called for his appeal against conviction to be turned down.
Giselle Ross, 43, has launched a Facebook petition to ensure ex-husband Ashok Kalyanjee won?t walk free for slaying five-year-old Paul and two-year-old Jay-Jay in 2008.
The Scottish Criminal Cases Review Commission (SCCRC) have backed his appeal on the grounds he has a mental illness undiagnosed at the time of the murders.
Giselle, from Robroyston, Glasgow, said: ?He was seen by psychiatrist after psychiatrist. They found him sane and fit to plead. He carefully planned and carried out the murders with chilling precision. Now, he?s doing everything he can to hurt me even more.?
Giselle?s petition gathered hundreds of signatures within hours of its launch.
She added: ?I want the Lord Advocate Frank Mulholland to know the strength of public opinion and for him to assure me he will vigorously oppose Kalyanjee?s appeal.?
Her lawyer, Cameron Fyfe, said: ?I?ve written to the Lord Advocate pointing out that this appeal is groundless and causing Giselle a great deal of distress.
?We?ve asked him to examine the basis for the appeal given the fact he pled guilty and the weight of evidence against him.?
June Thomson, 53, whose children Michelle, 25, and Ryan, seven, were stabbed to death by their father Rab on the same day as Giselle?s sons, is backing the campaign.
June and Giselle, who co-wrote bestseller Beyond All Evil, launched the petition on the book?s Facebook page.
A Crown Office spokesman said: ?We note the decision made by the SCCRC.?
