John Lennon's killer Mark Chapman has been denied parole for a ninth time.

Chapman, 61, shot the former Beatles star in New York in 1980.

He told the parole board he accepted his crime was "premeditated, selfish and evil".

But they told him:

"In spite of many favourable factors, we find all to be outweighed by the

premeditated and celebrity seeking nature of the crime."

His release would:

"be incompatible with the welfare of society" and "undermine respect for the law"
