Australia’s worst killers: 10 of our most evil murderers destined to spend life behind bars

The Daily Telegraph

THERE are currently 58 prisoners in NSW jails classified as never to be released due to the horrific nature of their crimes.

From a woman who murdered and skinned her husband to a sadistic killer who drowned a nine year old school girl, these are 10 of our worst killers rotting in our jails.

Ivan Milat, 70

Serial killer Ivan Milat.

Australia’s worst serial killer, Milat is currently serving seven consecutive life sentences for murdering seven young backpackers in the Belanglo State Forest south of Sydney between 1989 and 1992.
The first two of his victims were found in September 1992. Forensic analysis would determine they were British backpakcers Caroline Clarke and Joanne Walters who had disappeared from Sydney’s Kings Cross earlier that year.
A year later the remains of Victorian couple Deborah Everist and James Gibson were found by a local, while a police search turned up the remains of Simone Schmidl, Gabor Neugebauer and Anja Habschied of Germany early in November.
Milat was arrested in May 1994 after a huge investigation and police found a cache of weapons in his Eagle Vale home including parts of a .22 rifle similar to the one used on some of his victims.
During his trial Milat tried to pin the murders on others, including his brother Richard, but he was eventually found guilty after a lengthy trial.
Police believe Milat could be responsible for many more murders of backpackers who have disappeared off the street of NSW.

Andrew Garforth, 52

Ebony Simpson drowned after being sexually assaulted by Andrew Garforth.

Andrew Garforth, convicted over the murder of 10-year-old Bargo schoolgirl Ebony Simpson in 1992.

Garforth, 52, was jailed for life and his file was marked “never to be released” for the rape and murder of Ebony Simpson, 9, in Bargo as she walked from home from her school bus in 1992. He tied her up with wire, weighted her schoolbag down with rocks and threw her in a dam.
Ebony’s mum would usually meet her at the bus stop each day but was caught up on the day of her disappearance. She had asked Ebony’s brother to wait for her but his bus was running late and when the little girl arrived and nobody was there, she began to walk home.
On that walk she came across what appeared to be a broken down car on the side of the road.
When she started to pass the car, Garforth struck.
Hundreds of police and volunteers would spend the next few days searching for Ebony, including Garforth.
But attention soon turned to the sadistic searcher and he readily, and without remorse, admitted to the young girl’s murder and recounted to police in graphic details how he had abused and murdered her.
When he was found guilty of the shocking crime, his file was marked ‘never to be released’.
Garforth returned to the headlines last year after he won the right to have his prisoner classification downgraded.
That would give the killer more freedom in jail and allow him to take part in employment opportunities and rehabilitation.
But a huge outcry from the public saw Corrective Services Minister David Elliott step in and reverse the decision.

Arthur “Neddy” Smith, 71
