Erik and Lyle Menendez, who were convicted of murdering their parents in a case that shook America more than three decades ago, are a step closer to being released on parole.

They are currently serving life in prison without possibility of parole in California.

The 1989 murders of Kitty and Jose Menendez in their Beverly Hills mansion have gripped the US for years, recently inspiring a popular Netflix series.
