Ivan Milat: Australia's 'backpacker killer' dies aged 74

 

Ivan Milat was convicted of murdering seven backpackers

 

Ivan Milat, a notorious Australian serial killer who kidnapped and murdered hitchhikers, has died aged 74.

 

Milat had been serving a life sentence for killing seven backpackers between 1989 and 1992 and dumping their bodies in a New South Wales forest.

 

He died of cancer in a Sydney hospital early on Sunday local time.

 

Police said Milat's lifelong refusal to admit his crimes had hampered further investigations into the killings and other unsolved cases.

Hugh Hefner look a like

Having hitchhiked from Perth to Sydney in the 1980s the story of this individual and his hillbilly family has always given me the creeps. I met some shady people on my travels but at least lived to tell the tale....

Go to hell, a very evil person to the end. The murders were horrific and he had a total lack of remorse, the world is a better place without him.

Good.

You've probably seen the movie Wolf Creek.  Sounds very much like a combination of your trip, except with an added encounter with this chap.  Fabulously terrifying flick if you've not already caught it.

 

his living legacy, gone in 2 seconds

Nasty type, very nasty. I did (inappropriately) chuckle when in Coogee, where the locals were obviously very fed up with backpacker antics, and saw in large letters across a road dividing wall ‘weekend release for Ivan Milat’.......

Evil <deleted>, refused to admit to his murders when the evidence was overwhelming. Or give closure to the families of his victims.

I suppose dying slowly of cancer was appropriate for him, although it would have saved taxpayers a lot of money if someone simply put a bullet in his head.
