    Murderer and child sex offender Phillip John Smith has again been denied parole this week, on his 12th attempt

    Murderer and child sex offender Phillip John Smith has again been denied parole this week, on his 12th attempt


    Smith was jailed in 1995 for murdering the father of a 12-year-old Wellington boy he'd been sexually abusing.

    It will be another two years before Smith is up for parole again, in April 2022.
