He starts serving another minimum 2½-year-sentence on a related charge on May 14.
Savoy was one of five defendants in the attack and that killed Kimberly Cates of Mont Vernon in 2009.
He admitted helping convicted killers Stephen Spader and Christopher Gribble dump bloody clothing in a river just hours after Cates was hacked to death and 11-year-old Jaimie Cates was maimed.
Cates' husband, David Cates, testified against the parole.
