Lyle Menendez has been denied parole a day after his younger brother Erik received the same recommendation by a California state board.

Lyle and Erik Menendez have served more than three decades in prison for the murders of their parents in 1989.

Lyle Menendez will remain in prison after the California parole board rejected his bid for freedom on Friday night, a day after officials rejected his brother, Erik, for an early release.
