LOS ANGELES: Lyle Menendez, imprisoned 35 years with his brother Erik for the 1989 shotgun murders of their parents at their Beverly Hills home, was denied parole on Friday, a day after the same decision was rendered against his younger sibling.
The ruling was announced by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, the parent agency of the state Board of Parole Hearings, at the end of an 11-hour-plus proceeding.
Parole commissioners assigned to the case concluded there were still signs that Menendez, 57, would pose a risk to the public if released from custody, according to details of the hearing provided to news outlets, including Reuters, through a media pool reporter.
Menendez, dressed in blue prison garb, appeared by video from a San Diego lockup where he is currently incarcerated.
His younger brother, Erik Menendez, 54, was likewise denied parole following a similar 10-hour session on Thursday. The two siblings may apply for parole again in three years.

Zelensky to meet European leaders in Berlin Monday: Germany
BERLIN: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to travel to Berlin on Monday and meet European leaders as well as the heads of the EU and NATO, German government spokesman Stefan Kornelius said.
Zelensky will attend a German-Ukrainian business forum and discuss “the status of peace negotiations in Ukraine” with Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Kornelius said on Friday.
“In the evening, numerous European heads of state and government, as well as the leaders of the EU and NATO, will join the talks,” he said in a statement.
Britain’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer will be among the leaders attending the talks in Berlin, a UK government official said.
The meeting will be part of a flurry of diplomacy around a plan to end the conflict in Ukraine originally proposed by US President Donald Trump last month.
Ukrainian officials on Wednesday said they had sent Washington an updated version of the plan, building on Trump’s original 28-point proposal.
