   This is an application by O�Keefe (�the Applicant�) for reconsideration of the decision of a panel of the Board (�the panel�) which on 10 June 2022, after an oral hearing on 6 June 2022, issued a decision not to direct his release on licence and not to recommend that he should be transferred to an open prison.
   The Applicant is aged 47 and has a significant criminal record including a number of convictions for violent offences. He is now serving life imprisonment for his part in a murder committed with another man when he was aged 26. He was convicted after a contested trial in the course of which his co-defendant pleaded guilty.
   The Applicant was sentenced on 20 June 2002. His minimum term (�tariff�) was set at 12 years less time served on remand. It expired in December 2013.
   After a successful period in open conditions the Applicant was released on licence on 26 March 2018 but his licence was revoked on 29 December 2020 and he was returned to prison on 2 January 2021.
   The revocation of his licence was the result of an incident reported to probation by his partner�s daughter in which he was said to have smashed his partner�s mobile phone, run at her with a knife, threatened to kill her and threatened to burn her house down. Neither his partner nor her daughter wished to make statements to the police, and no charges were brought against the Applicant. He has admitted that there was a verbal argument but denies the above allegations.
