Work and Income double killer Russell John Tully has lost an appeal against his conviction and sentence.
The Court of Appeal has dismissed Tully s challenge in a decision released this afternoon.
Tully is serving life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 27 years for the 2014 Winz slayings.
Tully was found guilty in 2016 of storming the Ashburton Winz centre at 9.51am on September 1, 2014, and shooting dead receptionist Peggy Noble, 67, from point-blank range and shooting case manager Susan Leigh Cleveland, 55, three times as she pleaded for her life.
