Convicted rapist and murderer Teina Pora will find out next week whether his appeal to the Privy Council in London is successful.

Pora, who was freed on parole last April, spent 20 years in prison for the 1992 rape and murder of Aucklander Susan Burdett.

His case has been reviewed by a Privy Council panel of five judges, including New Zealand Chief Justice Dame Sian Elias.

Their decision will be delivered in London on Tuesday night.
