Lyle Menendez, the older of the notorious brothers who were jailed for murdering their parents in Los Angeles in 1989, has been denied parole.

The brothers , aged 57 and 54, had received life sentences without the chance of parole in 1996 after being convicted of murdering their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez, at their Beverly Hills home.

The case was thrust back into the spotlight last year when Netflix released a documentary and miniseries.

Lyle was making his first appeal for release after a judge reduced both his and his brother's sentences , making them eligible for parole.
