Mark Lundy has been denied parole today after serving his minimum term of 20 years for the August 2000 murders of his wife Christine and daughter Amber in Palmerston North.

At Tongariro Prison today he told the Parole Board he maintained his innocence. Lundy was convicted in 2002 and after those convictions were quashed by the Privy Council at a 2015 retrial.
