Cold case hopefully solved

Sounds like he knew police knew he did it in 2017, silly to leave his safe haven but maybe he thought they’d give up?

There's a good dedicated thread here with more information under discussion.

The case of one of WA’s most brutal and elusive serial rapists has officially been solved after a Perth man admitted he was the person behind several shocking sex attacks on women in the 1990s.

As first reported by The West Australian last year, detectives were finally able to arrest and charge Michael Woodhall after a painstaking cold-case investigation into four horrific sex attacks on Perth women.

Woodhall was charged in June last year with carrying out the attacks in Carine, Scarborough, Crawley and Kelmscott between 1995 and 1998.
It wasn’t until cold case detectives used genetic genealogy — the same technology which helped catch the notorious Golden State killer in the US — that they were finally able to identify, arrest and charge Woodhall with 34 offences over the sickening attacks, some 25-plus years after they occurred............. And in court last week, Woodhall, now aged 52, admitted he was indeed the man responsible for the crimes.

The four attacks Woodhall was linked to and ultimately guilty over were:

  • The rape of a woman at Carine Regional Open Space on March 19, 1995;
  • The rape of a teenager in her Scarborough house on March 19, 1996;
  • The sexual assault of a young woman at her Crawley unit on February 4, 1998; and
  • A break-in at a woman’s Kelmscott home on June 14, 1998.
Assault and attempted rape charges in connection to the Kelmscott woman, who was home at the time of the break-in, were among the charges dropped on Friday.............Woodhall’s arrest came just weeks after The West Australian first reported on the case in June last year, and how police had forensically linked all four of the sex attacks to one person’s DNA...........
 
One of Britain’s most sought after fugitives who is still wanted over two brutal murders may have stayed on a remote farm in WA and could have also frequented a well known Perth pub some years ago.
Stunning new details about Kevin Thomas Parle’s time on the run can be revealed by The West Australian for the first time, as a former UK detective ramps up his efforts to find the suspected double killer.

Parle – who would now be aged in his 40s – remains wanted by Merseyside Police and the National Crime Agency in the UK for two murders committed in his home city of Liverpool in 2004 and 2005.........A global manhunt for Parle has ensued ever since, but he has managed to evade capture.

In 2016, the Australian Federal Police and Merseyside detectives confirmed they had credible information that Parle may be in Australia, or had previously visited Perth on or about 2013...............Now for the first time former Scotland Yard police detective Peter Bleksley – who has dedicated the past five years of his life to hunt down Parle - has shared new and never before released information about Parle and his possible links to WA.

The West can reveal that information and intelligence includes:
  • Revelations that Parle had a relative in WA who owned a stud farm. The exact location of that farm is still unknown but it’s believed Parle may have stayed there at some point.
  • There is intelligence to suggest Parle had a very close friend who lived in Perth’s northern suburbs.
  • There is also fresh information that Parle may have been spotted at the Old Bailey Bar and Bistro in Joondalup, a venue which has since closed.
  • There is also new information Parle may have spent time in the WA outback during his time on the run.
Mr Bleksley – a detective with more than 20 years policing experience - has created an award winning podcast dubbed ‘Manhunt; Finding Kevin Parle’ which details his relentless pursuit of the double murder suspect.
 

Extra police deployed to Alice Springs after officers allegedly targeted in violent weekend of crime​

The Northern Territory police union has condemned a string of violent incidents at the weekend targeting police, claiming local members are being treated like "the community’s punching bags". NT Police recommenced Operation Archer on Saturday in response to the incidents, which allegedly saw young offenders throw rocks at police, leaving one female officer hospitalised.

The operation, which was previously deployed in August this year, aims to tackle high-risk stolen motor vehicle crimes and has seen additional police deployed to the outback town from Darwin in recent days. It comes after six people, aged 13 to 20, were arrested overnight Thursday after allegedly taking a stolen car on a joy ride through the CBD, throwing rocks at police and ramming into the back of a police car. They allegedly later trashed a parked police car before damaging two officers' personal vehicles and smashing the windows of two security vehicles, leaving a security guard with facial injuries. Five of the alleged offenders appeared in youth court on Monday, with a sixth child to be dealt with under the youth justice act.

Police allege the following night, a group of offenders recklessly drove a stolen car through the CBD, smashing the windscreen of a police car with a rock and injuring a female officer. She was taken to Alice Springs hospital to have a piece of glass removed from her eye. "We've got four suspects that we're actively pursuing ... and they're aged between 15 to 17 years of age," Southern Commander James Gray-Spence said.

Late Saturday night, a group of offenders allegedly drove another stolen car dangerously through the CBD, throwing rocks at police and other frontline workers, damaging vehicles but injuring no-one.

I wouldn't mind 'bumping into' this PoS.

Brian John Odlum handed suspended jail term for assaulting his young NDIS-funded carers​

A 68-year-old man who assaulted seven "isolated" and "vulnerable" women who were working for him as NDIS-funded carers has received a 12-month suspended prison sentence and a $2,000 fine.

During a trial earlier this year, Brian John Odlum was convicted of seven counts of indecent assault and four counts of common assault for inappropriately touching female victims in his home.
...

When asked by reporters outside court if he had anything to say to his victims, he replied, "f**k off".

So many holes in the very necessary NDIS that need fixing. Remember the "unrepentant" rapist, due to be released from prison and "likely to reoffend", who nevertheless was eligible for NDIS assistance with adjustment to everyday life, such as house cleaning, transport and so on? I hope the carers appointed are made FULLY AWARE of the background of this person - and others! - and are able to refuse to take the jobs. They should at least be able to go in pairs, NEVER alone. And paid VERY VERY well.

No remorse but no jail??? DPP hopefully appealing but probably won't bother as usual.

Frequently the owners of the NDIS businesses are aware of the possible risks around participants but not all NDIS providers are the same. I've met carers working with participants with forensic & sexual offending backgrounds who have not been provided a full overview of who they're caring for & how to manage any risk OR being given the opportunity to opt out of working with certain people. Adding in of someone chooses to self manage & employ their own carers they control the information they share with workers.
