Mark Chapman, the man who killed John Lennon, has apologised to the late Beatle's widow, Yoko Ono, 40 years after his death.

Chapman shot Lennon four times outside his New York Manhattan apartment as Ono looked on, in 1980. During the hearing, Chapman said he killed the 40 - year-old rock star for "glory" and that he deserved the death penalty. He was denied parole for the eleventh time following a hearing last month. He added that he thinks about the "despicable act" all the time, and accepts he may spend the rest of his life in prison.

The latest hearing documents, obtained by the Press Association, show the board rejected his release on the grounds it "would be incompatible with the welfare of society". At the parole board meeting he was described as being deeply religious and a "devoted Christian". He is also a clerk and a porter in a restricted block of the prison, where he was placed for his own safety.

Supervision board said it found Chapman's statement that "infamy brings you glory" disturbing, and recommended his "personal growth and productive use of time". "Your violent act caused devastation to not only family and former band members, but the world," it added.  the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision board said it found Chapman's statement that "infamy brings you glory" disturbing, and recommended his "personal growth and productive use of time". Chapman is next eligible for parole in two years.
