He first became eligible for parole in 2020 but it was at his third appearance before the New Zealand Parole Board in 2023 before he finally gave some insight into why he killed Aim. “We talked with Mr Broughton for some time about the offending,” said Parole Board chairman Sir Ron Young in a decision released to the Herald. Jahche Broughton killed Karen Aim when he was 14. Jahche Broughton assaulted a young woman days before he murdered Scottish tourist Karen Aim. That was especially so because of the offending itself, but also because Mr Broughton had effectively grown up in prison,” the board said.
