A evil killer who kicked an innocent man to death during a homophobic gang attack has failed in his bid to be released from prison.
David Meehan, from Perth, was handed a life sentence after pleading guilty to murdering 51-year-old council worker James Kerr in April 2007.
The then 19-year-old was ordered to serve a minimum of 16 years behind bars due to the “callous and brutal” character of his crime, which involved two other offenders.
