Childers: Long 'had hatred of backpackers'

Robert Long, who was found guilty today of murder and arson by a jury in Brisbane, Australia, made little attempt to conceal his growing hatred of backpackers in the weeks leading up to the fire at a crowded Australian hostel that killed 15 young travellers.

Limerick woman Julie O'Keeffe was one of the 15 victims of the blaze started by Long in the Palace Hostel in Childers, Queensland.
