KILLER Sean Price studied serial killers Ivan Milat and Thomas Quick in the weeks before murdering schoolgirl Masa Vukotic.
On the day of his arrest Price told detectives: “Good chance it was me.”
Hours later, during a five-and-a-half-hour record of interview, Price admitted to police he killed Ms Vukotic on March 17.
Today he pleaded guilty in the Melbourne Magistrates’ Court to one count of murder and another count of robbery.
It was revealed Price borrowed books on killers Milat and Quick from his local library as well as reading up on policing, crime scene investigation and forensic investigation.
The day after the callous killing he returned to the same library, researching his own cold-blooded murder.

Just 20 minutes later he had arrived at Doncaster’s Park and Ride. It was 10 minutes before he met Ms Vukotic, who had gone out for a walk after having a meal with her family.
Price grabbed the teen, forced her into some bushes on the eastern side of Koonung Creek Linear Park in Stanton St, and stabbed her repeatedly.
Price walked out of the bushes after seeing a man walking a dog, but continued his attack after the man passed.
Ms Vukotic died from stab wounds to the neck.
Post mortem tests discovered 49 wounds on her body.
