Edward Fitzgerald QC has argued an important case in the Hong Kong Court of Appeal

The Nancy Kissel murder case (officially called the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region v Nancy Ann Kissel) was a highly publicised criminal trial held in the High Court of Hong Kong, where Nancy Ann Kissel (née Keeshin) was convicted of the murder of her husband, 40-year-old investment banker Robert Peter Kissel, in their apartment on 2 November 2003.

Joint Head of Doughty Street Chambers, Edward Fitzgerald QC has argued an important case in the Hong Kong Court of Appeal for Nancy Kissel, the so-called milkshake murderer, which may establish important rights for life sentence prisoners to have their ‘tariff periods’ disclosed.  Previously the courts had considered themselves bound by authority to hold that the review could not identify or disclose a tariff period.
