    A man who murdered a Scottish tourist with a baseball bat when he was a teenager - has been denied parole for the seventh time

    A man who murdered a Scottish tourist with a baseball bat when he was a teenager - has been denied parole for the seventh time


    Aged 14, Jahche Broughton killed Karen Aim in Taupo in 2008 - as she was walking home from a party.

    He'd been using the bat to smash school windows.

    A recent psychological assessment found Broughton has a high risk of violent reoffending - and would have high needs if returning into society.

    He'll remain on a reintegration pathway - and will appear before the parole board again later this year.
