A court spokesman has confirmed Baden-Clay's lawyers have lodged an appeal on Thursday.

The former Brisbane real estate agent was convicted on Tuesday of murdering his wife Allison in a violent struggle in April 2012.

 

The crime robbed the couple's three daughters of their mother, and Baden-Clay was sentenced to life in jail with a minimum non-parole period of 15 years.

 

He wept and shook during his sentencing hearing as Allison's family told of their enduring grief.
