A man who stabbed his partner to death outside their South Dunedin home has "limited understanding" of his risks, the Parole Board has heard.
Matakaua (Karl) Ngaruaine Rouvi, 63 has spent the past 13 years behind bars after pleading guilty to the murder of 21-year-old Moana Anahera Marie Aranui.
He appeared before the Parole Board twice last year.
First, he was knocked back because of an unrealistic plan to be released to Dunedin and then the board believed he needed more therapy.
Rouvi's most recent appearance in March was similarly insufficient to alleviate the concerns for public safety.
