One of Australia's most notorious killers, Derek Percy, has died in prison.
Mr. Percy was arrested in 1969 after the abduction & murder of 12-year-old Yvonne Touhy, but was found not guilty by means of insanity.
He was also a suspect in the murders of 3-year-old Simon Brooke, 6-year-old Alan Redston & 15-year-olds Christine Sharrock and Marianne Schmidt as well as the disappearances of 7-year-old Linda Stilwell & the Beaumont children.

Where as I'm from, the U.S., I'm not familiar with this case but in looking at his list of victims, I think I'm safe in assuming he was a what we call in our correctional facilities, a "CHOMO", a child molester. If I'm right, then good riddance to him and may nobody again have to suffer the indignities this P.O.S. suffered upon other innocents. Reply #1. Jul 23 13, 9:21 PM |

What I don't understand is, if he did kill all these kids, why did he not just tell their families the truth? Reply #2. Jul 23 13, 11:45 PM |

He sounds like a truly evil person & the world is better off without someone like him taking up space! Good riddance! :P Reply #3. Jul 24 13, 12:46 AM |

Imagine one of your relatives was a serial killer. Is that something you would be proud of? It might surprise you, but I've heard of someone who is proud of the fact that his great-uncle is one of Australia's most infamous serial killers. So proud, in fact, that he committed a murder in the exact same forest made famous by his great-uncle's killing spree. Reply #4. Jul 25 13, 12:47 AM |

I decided to Google this guy & I have to say that he is the stuff nightmares are made of! He's so scary looking! The photos I saw of him, he was looking at the camera with pure hatred in all of them! I also read about his crimes & was horrified. Such awful stuff. Who but a monster could harm innocent children like he did? It's beyond me. And if I had a relative who had done these things, I would get as far away from that person as I possibly could! No question about it! :( Reply #5. Jul 25 13, 12:57 AM |

The "Moors Murderers" tortured and killed children. All the bodies but one were found, and the parents of the last one died without knowing where their son was. They refused to say where he was. Perhaps keeping the information gave them the only scrap of power and control that they would ever have. I can't think of a logical reason. Reply #6. Jul 25 13, 4:44 AM |

I never thought of it that way Lesley. I just remember seeing Keith's mother on television and feeling desperately sorry for her having to die without finding her son. As you say, this gave Brady the only sense of power he still had. Reply #7. Oct 04 13, 3:32 PM |
