A convicted murderer and child sex offender have lost their legal fight to stop WA'S Director of Public Prosecutions seizing some of their assets.
Gary White is serving a life jail term for murdering Anthony Tapley at a Maddington property in 2001, while Aaron Bowers was convicted sexually abusing a young girl.
The men's crimes were not committed at properties they own but under the state's criminal confiscation laws, the DPP wanted to take more than $100,000 from White and a house part owned by Bowers.
Last year, a judge dismissed the DPP's application but that decision was overturned today by the Court of Appeal.
Bowers' lawyer says he will take the matter to the High Court.
