A man on parole who brutally murdered Colombian woman Juliana Bonilla-Herrera in her Christchurch home has been jailed for at least twenty-three years.
Joseph James Brider attacked the woman as she slept in her bed in Addington in January 2022, just ten weeks after he was paroled from prison.
He was granted parole three months ahead of his statutory release date.
He was assessed as being a medium-to-high risk of reoffending and parolled under fourteen special conditions, including electronic monitoring.
New Zealand Parole Board chair Sir Ron Young spoke to Kim Hill.
