Kajinek will not get new trial

A court in the West Bohemian city of Pilsen has ruled against re-opening the case of Jiri Kajinek, the country's most notorious prisoner, who is serving a life sentence for double murder. The judge said that Mr Kajinek's lawyer had not presented any new evidence that would justify a new trial. Mr Kajinek was served a life sentence in 1998 for the murder of two men, but he has always pleaded innocent of the crimes and insists that he was framed by the police. He can still lodge a complaint against the decision with the High Court in Prague.
