Pumpkin's father to appeal life sentence

This week has been such a busy week.

NAI Yin Xue, the father of the abandoned toddler nicknamed "Pumpkin", will appeal his life sentence for the brutal murder of his young wife, his lawyer says.

Xue, a newspaper publisher and self-styled martial arts expert, was sentenced to life with a minimum non-parole period of 12 years for strangling An An Liu, 27, and dumping her body in the boot of his car in Auckland in September 2007.

He then left the couple's daughter Qian Xun Xue, nicknamed "Pumpkin" by the media, at Melbourne's Southern Cross Station before fleeing to the United States.

Unlike his guilty verdict last month, when Xue punched the air and yelled "unfair unfair" from the dock, the 56-year-old remained stony-faced today as Justice Hugh Williams read out his fate.
