Anti-nuclear campaigner Hilda Murrell died after being sexually assaulted and stabbed in 1984.
Her murder remained unsolved for 21 years, until builder's labourer Andrew George was convicted of killing the 78-year-old, whose body was found in a copse in the shadow of Haughmond Hill, three days after being abducted from her home.
Listing its findings the board said that while George's behaviour in prison had"been better recently", no witnesses could support his release. The board concluded that the level of risk posed by George meant he could not be transferred to open prison.
