Crime junkies from way back might remember the 1999 story of the Snowtown murders in South Australia when 8 bodies were found in barrels in an old bank vault. There were 3 men convicted over 11 murders in total, plus a fourth man who was convicted as an accomplice. That fourth man was Mark Haydon, and his 25-year sentence is set to run out in May. Haydon wasn’t convicted of murder, but the state’s Supreme Court noted that he covered up the murders, including his wife’s. Speaking about Haydon’s impending release, one local barrister, James Marcus, said that community rehabilitation is a much more effective use of resources – although South Oz’s Victims of Crime Commissioner Sarah Quick said that Haydon’s release would be “very difficult” for the families of the victims… The 2 ringleaders of the Snowtown murders were jailed for life, never to be released.
