Australia - Judge denies murderer's request to wear makeup in prison

[Casshew]

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Prison officials Thursday rejected a mass murderer's application to be allowed to wear makeup while serving his 30-year sentence.

The ruling came after secret negotiations Tuesday between Paul Denyer and prison officials in Australia's southern Victoria state.

Denyer, 31, was convicted of stabbing and strangling three young women during a three-week killing spree in Melbourne in 1993.

Since being imprisoned 11 years ago, he has made headlines by asking for a sex change and demanding the right to wear makeup. His request for a sex change was also rejected.

Good Grief! He wants privileges, just a little sex change surgery? Although nipping the nuts might be a good thing.
