John Lennon killer Mark Chapman denied parole in US
Authorities in New York have denied parole to the man who shot dead musician John Lennon in 1980 - for the seventh time.
Mark Chapman was sentenced to 20 years to life in 1981 after pleading guilty to second-degree murder.
Chapman, now 57, shot Lennon four times outside a Manhattan apartment block. He can reapply for parole in two years.
