A former Dunedin doctor convicted of murdering teenager Amber-Rose Rush continues to maintain his innocence and claims there has been a miscarriage of justice.
Venod Skantha was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 19 years in March.
At trial, the jury heard Skantha stabbed the 16-year-old to death in her bed in February 2018 after she threatened to come forward with claims of sexual assault, providing minors with alcohol and offering money for sex.
