By Jimmy EllinghamA man who claims he fatally but accidentally shot his girlfriend in the head from point-blank range will remain behind bars. Tuaine Llewellyn Bevan was denied an early released by the Parole Board last month. Ms Lake was lying on her bed when she was shot in what the Crown argued was a planned killing over a domestic dispute. A Palmerston North jury in 2012 acquitted Bevan of murder but found him guilty of the manslaughter of Stacey Lake, 23, who Bevan shot dead in May 2011. A Parole Board report released to the Herald today says Bevan "maintains his resistance" to doing any group rehabilitative programme, including with the drug treatment unit.
