More than two decades after the killing of Bond University student Leigh Matthews, her convicted killer, Donovan Stanley Moodley, has again been denied parole. Donovan Stanley Moodley, who is serving a life sentence for the killing of Bond University student Leigh Matthews, has been denied parole, the Department of Correctional Services said on Friday. In a media statement, the department said Moodley’s parole profile was considered in terms of Section 78 of the Correctional Services Act 111 of 1998.
“After careful consideration of all relevant reports and submissions, the National Council for Correctional Services (NCCS) recommended to the Minister of Correctional Services, Dr Pieter Groenewald, that parole placement not be granted at this stage,” departmental spokesperson Singabakho Nxumalo said. The council further recommended that Moodley undergo additional interventions before his profile is reconsidered. Nxumalo said Groenewald concurred with the recommendation. “In accordance with this decision, parole placement has not been granted,” he said.
