True Crime: How a depraved serial killer terrorised a seaside suburb | 60 Minutes Australia
Sep 10 2023
Should a convicted serial killer ever be released from prison? It’s a vexing question. Most people would say no is the only answer, but it’s still one that Victorian authorities have to address. It’s all because of 51-year-old Paul Charles Denyer, an awful man, evil beyond measure. In 1993 he randomly murdered three young women. When he was caught he happily admitted his crimes, taking glee in the act of killing.

But thirty years on, he is eligible for parole. Denyer has already applied for his freedom once and been rejected, but as Tara Brown reports, there’s nothing to stop him trying again unless the law is changed.
