DAVE Mahon is appealing against his sentence for the manslaughter of his stepson.
The former Fuengirola estate agent, whose stepdaughter Amy Fitzpatrick went missing mysteriously in 2008, has a court appeal in October.
Mahon, 46, pleaded not guilty to murder of Dean Fitzpatrick, 23, last June.
He claimed Dean’s death was an accident because he ‘walked into the knife’ while they were arguing.
The family made headlines in 2008 when his wife Audrey’s daughter, Amy, who would be 25 now, went missing near their home after a night out.
She has never been found.
He would do well to remember that an appeal can lead to an increase in sentence, just as easily as a decrease.
