A Dunedin man responsible for a botched murder-suicide has more work to do in prison before he can be safely released, the Parole Board says.
Blair Wiremu Tamihana, 45, pleaded guilty to attempted murder and was jailed for three years and eight months when he appeared before the High Court at Dunedin in June last year.
