Subscriber only A TOWNSVILLE man behind bars after two juries found him guilty of murdering his former boss has appealed his conviction amid claims a judge s direction was overly complicated . Businessman David Knyvett, 59, died of blunt force trauma after Kyle Robert Thompson, 32, beat him to death with an empty whiskey bottle. First responders were confronted with a grim scene when they found the 59-year-old bound by duct tape on the bathroom floor. He died after inhaling his own blood as a result of the severe injuries he suffered on November 15, 2015. At both trials Thompson admitted he killed Mr Knyvett, pleaded guilty to manslaughter and claimed he was provoked to kill the 59-year-old after an unwanted sexual advance tipped him over the edge after years of sexual abuse.
