John Lennon’s murder Mark David Chapman has been denied parole for the 10th time.
Chapman was sentenced to life in prison 38 years ago after murdering The Beatles’ co-founder outside his Dakota home in New York City on 8 December 1980.
The 63-year old assassin’s parole was denied by the New York Board of Parole citing the possibility of “endangering public safety because someone might try to harm him out of anger or revenge or to gain notoriety”.
Chapman can apply for parole again in August 2020.
