A push to introduce a no body, no parole law to New Zealand
6 March 2024
Former prison guard David Benbow been sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 17 years for the murder of Michael McGrath .
McGrath's body has never been found since he went missing in 2017.
His brother, Simon McGrath says a no body, no parole law is needed - and offenders should only get parole if they co-operate with police.
He says given the magnitude of the crime and the concealment of a body warrants enough to bring the law in.
Most Australian states have no body, no parole laws - with New South Wales the last to introduce it, in 2022.
