Woman denied parole over brutal home invasion murder

A woman who took part in the brutal murder in 1999 of a South Auckland man in a home invasion - with her 2-year-old son in tow - has been denied parole.

Daniella Bowman was 17 when she and her cousins Natalie and Katrina Fenton, aged 15 and 19 at the time, were convicted of murdering Raymond Mullins.

The board said Bowman needed to address her substance abuse.
