GANGLAND hitman Stephen Asling is making a final attempt to appeal against his conviction for killing Graham “The Munster’’ Kinniburgh.
Kinniburgh was shot after being ambushed by two men outside his Kew home on December 13, 2003.

ANDREW RULE: THE MUNSTER WAS AN ‘HONEST CROOK’
Asling, 57, who last year was jailed for life with a non-parole term of 27 years, is seeking leave to appeal to the High Court after Victoria’s Court of Appeal dismissed his challenge to his conviction earlier this year.
It was alleged at Asling’s Supreme Court trial that the late gangland figure Carl Williams paid $150,000 for the Kinniburgh hit.
Kinniburgh, 62, a veteran safecracker, was a key figure in the “Carlton Crew’’ crime gang who had forged close ties to Alphonse Gangitano, who was killed in 1998, and Mick Gatto.
