For a life sentence for murder in New Zealand, the minimum sentence is 10 years for simple single-victim cases and 17 years for multiple victims and aggravated cases, although the judge can impose a longer minimum sentence. As of November 2014, the longest minimum sentence given for a single murder is 23 years, and for a multiple murder 30 years.
