Australia’s most wanted man finally behind bars

Australia’s most wanted man, who eluded officials for seven years by hiding out in dense forests, was captured yesterday and charged with murder, ending a frustrating and at times violent hunt, police said.

Malcolm Naden was bearded, barefoot and wearing muddy clothes when New South Wales police found him just after midnight at a remote house near the town of Gloucester, about 260km north of Sydney. The former slaughterhouse worker has been charged with strangling a cousin to death in 2005 and other violent crimes.
