    A Canterbury man convicted of murder more than 20 years ago will be released from jail

    A Canterbury man convicted of murder more than 20 years ago will be released from jail


    Timothy Taylor was sentenced to life in prison in 2000 for the murder of Lisa Blakie .

    The 20-year-old was killed as she hitchhiked from Christchurch to Greymouth.

    A Parole Board declared today Taylor is no longer a risk to the community.

    Herald journalist Anna Leask says Blakie's family believe there isn't enough evidence to suggest Taylor murdered Blakie - but that he was likely involved.

    She says Taylor has always said he did not physically kill Blakie.

    He has a team of people working behind the scenes to prove his innocence.
