That came in the form of DNA from Mangels, who was arrested for disorderly behaviour in Nelson. It matched a fingernail clipping taken from McKinnel s body. In 2004, Mangels was sentenced to life imprisonment with a minimum non-parole period of 10 years. He has spent 17 years behind bars. “[Maureen] was such a loved, treasured member of our family and a friend to many, the family said in a statement, after confirmation Mangels will be released this month.

A murderer who took 16 years to be brought to justice has been released from prison to the outrage of his victim s family.
Jarrod Allan Mangels, 48, was yesterday granted parole after spending 17 years behind bars for strangling his neighbour Maureen McKinnel in Arrowtown on Boxing Day in 1987.
The 38-year-old s naked body was found five days later, dumped under the Arrow River bridge but the case was only solved in 2003, when scientific advances meant the killer s DNA could be matched with samples.
