Henry Keogh is an Australian murderer. He grew up in Adelaide, South Australia and was educated at Saint Ignatius College [St. Ignatius' College Year Books, 1970-1972, ed. F.X. Wallace, S.J., Manresa Court, Athelstone, South Australia] and briefly at the School of Dentistry at The University of Adelaide.State of Injustice, Robert N. Moles, Lothian Books, Melbourne, Australia, 1994.]

In 1995 he was sentenced to 26 years in prison for the 1994 murder of his 29-year-old fiancée, Anna-Jane Cheney, [http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/story/0,20867,21781574-1702,00.html Bathtub murderer wants appeal reopened] , "The Australian", 23 May 2007.] then head of Professional Conduct at the Law Society of South Australia: it was alleged that Keogh had planned the murder for over two years.

Mr Keogh and his family have always claimed his innocence, and raised doubts regarding the evidence upon which the conviction was based.

In a petition lodged in 2002, Keogh's legal team, led by Kevin Borick, provided material in support of a substantial number of complaints. Keogh's key complaint was against then chief forensic pathologist Colin Manock's handling of the autopsy on Cheney and his evidence in the trial.

South Australian Deputy Premier, Kevin Foley, said that after considering the report of the Solicitor General, delivered after an exhaustive examination over two and a half years of the 37 complaints contained in Mr Keogh’s third petition, he formed the opinion that it did not disclose any arguable basis on which the Supreme Court could find that there had been a miscarriage of justice.

In May 2007, Mr Keogh applied for leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of South Australia. The appeal was dismissed on 22 June 2007.

On 16 November 2007, the High Court of Australia rejected Keogh's application for special leave to appeal against a decision by the South Australian Court of Criminal Appeal that it did not have jurisdiction to reopen his appeal.
