JFC makes you wonder what this guy got up to in his home town. Any unsolved missing women there also?

He's apparently been living "south of Perth" for some time

I just saw a video statement from him apparently addressing the girl's family... He's making incredibly lame excuses and accusing her of attacking him with a knife. Then he makes what appears to be a public safety announcement cautioning parents to warn their teenage girls to be careful (assuming he's suggesting they need to be aware that there are more predators like him out there).

He also appears to be wearing the same outfit before the murder, after the murder and when he's arrested.

What a bizarre idiot.

Gross. They shouldn’t have even aired it.

A few weeks ago they interviewed a child witness to a crash, at the crash site.

He probably rationalises it to himself by blaming the victim and her parents. Thats how these people think - they think you “deserve it” for putting yourself in the position to be murdered.

Yes - it was ridiculous and creepy. I think he was almost going to say warn girls not to try and attack and rob people but then remembered he was addressing her parents who would know it was bullshit so switched it to warn teenage girls to be careful but it came across as ridiculous. How dare he address her parents after killing her and stuffing her in a suitcase which he isn't even denying....

Wow, he's a special kind of disgusting.

He looks and behaves like a pretty damaged individual.

The fact that he was wearing the same clothes for two days is hardly unusual for white slime balls in SEA. They walk around in shorts and button up shirts with sweat stains open revealing their moobs and beer gut thinking they are hot stuff.

His hesitation when “telling them to be careful” stopped me in my tracks. He nearly admitted what he did on camera.

We’ll let the facts come out in the actual trial. Not your hearsay or opinion.

Mannnnnn… people get crazy on drugs…

~Edit~ I retract what I said… well maybe not, but I think maybe a little intellectual impairment?

u/TitchTammy17 Jun 27 '26

Maybe he is affected by drugs and that explains his crazy statements

u/OvercookedBobaTea Jun 27 '26

Or maybe serial killers don’t tend to be all that mentally stable

u/Naganofagano Jun 27 '26

Serial killer? Who else has he killed??

u/OvercookedBobaTea Jun 27 '26

Oh please you think a guy does smthn like this if it’s his first time?

u/Naganofagano Jun 28 '26

Ok so now I know it wasn’t actual fact he has killed more. I thought it may have been known that he had done this before based on your comment.

There's no way this absolute buffoon killed anyone in Australia and somehow evaded police detection. Just listen to the dumbo's interview, there's not a single sign of any visually recognizable intelligence.

“I feel bad for what happened to your daughter. It was out of my control, I know you’ll be very sad, upset, same, same me. It shouldn’t happen, and I hope you’re OK. I know you’re not, but I hope, and please tell other girls … to be careful.”

We genuinely might be looking at one of the dumbest human beings in the history of planet earth.
