[h=2]Seven years for attack[/h]
PAKENHAM man Scot Alan Murdoch has been sentenced to seven years’ jail for a brutal assault on a Berwick woman that left her in hospital for six weeks.
In her Supreme Court ruling last Wednesday, Justice Betty King said the 2006 attack had done ‘untold damage’ to the victim and her family.
The court heard that Karen Cheeseman, then known as Karen Duker, was a single mother living on the disability pension when she joined the phone chat line Hot Gossip on 25 September 2006.
At about 2.45am the next day, Murdoch left a message for Ms Cheeseman and the pair exchanged several messages before Ms Cheeseman arranged to collect Murdoch from the Bi-Lo car park.
After arriving at Ms Cheeseman’s Berwick home, they each drank a vodka and passionfruit UDL.
Addressing Murdoch, Justice King said: “After being with Ms Cheeseman for an hour or so, you then began to move around the house and it appeared, Ms Cheeseman said, to her that you were checking out each of the rooms.”
 
Wow that's sickening. I wonder how he and Kylies paths crossed and whether he stalked her randomly or it was a targeted attack. Sounds like an absolute psychopath.
 
'Gutless coward': Liberal MP Brian Paynter threatens man accused of killing Kylie Blackwood in courtroom outburst
April 12, 2016: http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/g...used-killer-fronts-court-20160412-go46b1.html


"Prosecutor Leigh Harrison told the court investigators needed to put together transcripts of telephone intercepts."

Wonder what they intercepted. The scum speaking about Kylie's murder to another person? Or did he borrow the car from another person and had to explain why it was recorded in the vicinity of Kylie's home on that fateful day? Surely the police were able to obtain the number plate details (or at least partial details) from that CCTV footage.
 
Wow!

Great news that a perp has been incarcerated for Kylie's murder!

Motive?

TIA! :sundae:

'The DNA of the man charged with murdering Melbourne mother-of-three Kylie Blackwood was allegedly found on her clothing, a court has heard.'

'Prosecutors told a hearing at the Melbourne Magistrates Court that DNA from the scene was still being analysed, along with a sample taken from Murdoch when he was charged.

But police are expected to allege his DNA was found on Ms Blackwood's clothing.'

'Police were also examining Ms Blackwood's computer, which they believed she was using shortly before her death.

Murdoch's lawyers indicated he would contest the charge.

He will return to court in two weeks.'
