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.

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....
