It’s a no-go on parole for one of the notorious “Hillside Stranglers.”
Kenneth Bianchi, who was convicted of murdering 12 woman in the 1970s, has lost his latest bid for freedom this week, and will remain inside a California prison, where he’s been incarcerated since 1983.
This was the eighth time the California Board of Parole rejected a parole request from Bianchi, The Post confirmed.
The first denial came in 1985. Prior to this, the board denied him parole in 2010.
Bianchi, now 74, was convicted for participating in a series of kidnappings, rapes and murders in Los Angeles. His four-month reign over the city in late 1977 and early 1978 left 10 young women dead.
He’d later be connected to the deaths of two more women in Washington state.
Bianchi acted alone for only two of the murders. For the others, he was assisted by his cousin, Angelo Buono, Jr.
The media dubbed the men the “Hillside Stranglers” as their victims — ranging in age from 12 to 28 — were strangled to death, and their bodies, dumped along the hillsides of the city’s suburbs.
Bianchi was arrested in January 1979, while Buono remained free until October of that year.
Bianchi testified against his cousin, who, like him, was sentenced to life in prison for the heinous crimes.
Buono died in prison in 2002.
