Schoolgirl Jayde Kendall's convicted killer to appeal

The man convicted of murdering Queensland schoolgirl Jayde Kendall is set to appeal over the decision on Tuesday.

A Brisbane Supreme Court jury last year found Brenden Bennetts guilty of killing the 16-year-old and dumping her body in a field on the outskirts of Gatton in 2015.

His appeal against the conviction and an application for leave to appeal over his sentence will be heard by the Queensland Court of Appeal.
