(KSL News) The state parole board will keep a man who killed his teenage friend locked up for at least nine more years.

Brookes Shumway appeared before the parole board this month.

Seven years ago, when Shumway was 15, he stabbed his friend, Christopher Ray, with a kitchen knife 39 times.

Utah's Supreme Court overturned Shumway's murder conviction, and he pleaded guilty to manslaughter.

Shumway's next parole hearing takes place in 2016.
