Serial killer refused appeal
One of Australia’s most notorious serial killers, Ivan Milat, was told today he will not be allowed to appeal his conviction on charges of murdering seven young backpackers he picked up while they were hitchhiking.
Milat is serving a life sentence in Australia’s most secure prison for murdering the travellers – two Britons, three Germans, and two Australians - between 1989 and 1992.
