A Tauranga man convicted of murdering his 17-month-old stepdaughter has had his conviction quashed, with the Court of Appeal ordering a retrial.
But in a judgment released today, Court of Appeal Justice Miller suppressed the circumstances of the appeal and the reasons for quashing the conviction.
Clancy is now set to face a retrial. Bail is to be determined in a High Court hearing.
