In brief: Peter Ellis hearing
NZPA

Christchurch : Convicted child abuser Peter Ellis will have a hearing in front of the Court of Appeal on June 4.

A spokeswoman for Ellis' lawyer, Judith Ablett-Kerr, could not say what the hearing in Wellington was for, but Mrs Ablett-Kerr had been expecting a bail application hearing to be held this week following Ellis' application earlier this month.

Ellis is in the sixth year of a 10-year sentence on 13 counts of sexually abusing children. He has maintained his innocence throughout.
