Serial killer monster hunt: Some of Australia’s most notorious criminals targeted in state review of cold cases

March 11, 2015 12:00AM

•Police checking movements of four notorious killers to find links to cold cases
•The four are Ivan Milat, Ashley Coulston, Reginald Arthurell and Bandali Debs
•They have killed 17 between them but police believe there could be more
•All four in jail and only Artherall has a chance of ever getting out

HOMICIDE detectives are cross-referencing the movements of four of Australia’s most notorious serial killers with unsolved murders and missing persons cases in the state’s most ambitious and far-reaching cold case review to date.

Australia’s most prolific serial killer, Ivan Milat, is among the quartet convicted of killing 17 people between them but the deaths of dozens more going back nearly four decades are now being re-evaluated by police for possible links.

Detective Chief Inspector John Lehmann from the NSW Unsolved Homicide Squad said a review team was now looking at the files of Milat and other known serial killers Ivan Ashley Coulston, Reginald Arthurell and Bandali Debs.

Other killers known to prey on women will also be looked at as part of the cold case operation, which is believed to be first time police have reviewed known serial killers and all their potential victims at the same time.

Three-time killer Reginald Arthurell granted parole


The family of Venet Mulhall are fearful it’s a case of when not if Reginald “Tex” Arthurell kills again after the notorious three-time killer was granted parole.
Arthurell, 75, will walk free in the coming four weeks after serving 23 years of a 24-year sentence for bludgeoning Ms Mulhall to death with a piece of wood inside her Coonabarabran home in central NSW in 1995.

Arthurell was also jailed for the manslaughter of his stepfather Thomas Thornton in Sydney in May 1974 and naval officer Ross Browning in the Northern Territory in November 1981.
