Police killer found guilty of prostitute murder
Criminal Law
[##_1L|1218111352.jpg|width="120" height="84" alt=""|_##]A man already serving a life sentence for killing two police officers has been found guilty of the murder of a teenage prostitute in 1997. A Supreme Court jury has found 53-year-old Bandali Debs guilty of the shooting murder of Kristy Harty. The body of the 18-year-old prostitute was found on a bush track in Upper Beaconsfield, south-east of Melbourne, almost a decade ago. During the trial the court heard DNA from Debs was found on Ms Harty, and that Debs had access to guns with the same calibre bullets as the one that killed her.
Debs is already serving a life sentence without parole for the murders of policemen Sergeant Gary Silk and Senior Constable Rodney Miller in Moorabbin in 1998, a year after he murdered the teenager. His plea hearing will be held at a later date.
