Erik Menendez has been denied parole 36 years after he confessed to killing his parents. 

He and his brother Lyle were sentenced to life in prison in 1996 for murdering their parents Jose and Kitty Menendez. 

Since then, further details around abuse from their father have surfaced, leading to public debate over their sentencing.  

US Correspondent Jonathan Kearsley told Heather duPlessis-Allan that Eric Menendez will have to wait another three years before requesting parole again.
