    A child killer's on his way back to prison for a fifth time -- after failing a drug test

    A child killer's on his way back to prison for a fifth time -- after failing a drug test


    In 1992 Robin James Pitney was jailed for the murder of 11-year-old Leif Wulff in Timaru.

    Pitney was just 15.

    The parole board says he has tested positive for methamphetamine -- in breach of his bail conditions.

    Pitney claims it was a botched test.

    He'll be back up for parole in June.
