The Supreme Court of Canada says it will not hear the appeal of a man convicted of killing a Glace Bay man in the Calgary area.

The court dismissed Nicholas Rasberry’s appeal application today.

Rasberry stabbed Craig Kelloway 37 times while the two were in Rasberry’s home on May 4^th, 2013.

At his trial, Rasberry claimed he was sexually assaulted and acted in self-defence.

While initially charged with second degree-murder, he was convicted on the lesser charge of manslaughter in 2015.

The conviction was upheld by the Alberta Court of Appeal earlier this year.
