Guess who else was hitchhiking thro' the Goulburn area circa 1971 when Ivan was starting out on his career of infamy.Milat dead, good bloody riddance!
Horrible horrible man total scum. Read a book on Milat and his brother Richard imo was involved at least once.
The book went into the Police investigation and their oversight in not contacting Englishman Onions sooner. It was Onions who
managed to escape a gun toting Milat and when brought to Oz fingered Milat from tens and tens of mugshots.
"That's him " he said, you sure was the query "I'll never forget that face as long as I live. Btw why didn't you contact me earlier?
"Ahem" was the sheepish response. Truth is the head investigator was a stubborn old school bully who didn't want his 'budget'
to be blown out with o/s phone calls and possibly having to bring Onions over to Oz.
An idea thought valid by a university educated junior detective that 'Bully Boss' just could not stand.
A junior detective that had made secret inquiries/phone calls late at night to Britain and the nearest Police Station to where Onions lived.
Milan spent time in NZ too over a period when some hitchhikers went missing. His tally of victims is probably well into double figures.
I'd have been tempted to torture the bastard.
