The appeal by John Blanchard, who killed his three children, to have his prison term reduced was dismissed last Monday.
In 2016, he was handed three life sentences for the killing of his three children.
Blanchard, 40, of Soesdyke, East Bank Demerara, was initially charged with the October 11, 2011 murders of his three young children: Joy, aged six; Belika, aged 10; and Daniel, aged four. The causes of their deaths was given as multiple stab wounds.
He was, however, allowed by state prosecutors to plead guilty to three counts of manslaughter. A life sentence was then imposed by Justice Jo-Ann Barlow, on each count. The sentences were instructed to be served concurrently. It was further ordered by the judge that Blanchard would not be eligible for parole until after serving a minimum of 30 years.
