Parole Granted for 4-Murderer After 40 Years | Australia News

A convicted hitman, sentenced for four brutal murders in the 1980s, has been granted parole after nearly 40 years behind bars — but authorities are now demanding a review. The South Australian Parole Board cited his remorse and good behavior, even as he admitted losing his moral compass. However, the attorney-general, police commissioner, and victims’ rights commissioner have all requested a re-evaluation, with a preliminary hearing set for Tuesday. His crimes included killing a man in Victoria and then murdering that man’s parents in Adelaide — a spree that led to a 36-year non-parole sentence. At sentencing, he famously begged for no mercy, arguing leniency would value his life more than his victims’. Now, with parole approved, the review will scrutinize every detail before deciding whether to uphold or reverse the decision.
