A Victorian father twice found guilty of murdering his three sons by driving them into a dam has been denied the chance to take his appeal to the High Court.

Farquharson, 43, was jailed for life in 2010 after a Victorian Supreme Court jury found him guilty of murdering Jai, 10, Tyler, 7 and Bailey, 2, in September 2005 to get back at his ex-wife.
