Australian Serial killer fights to wear makeup
An Australian serial killer's legal battle for the right to wear make-up in prison has upset the family of one of his victims.
Paul Denyer was jailed for a minimum 30-year term for murdering three young women in Melbourne over seven weeks in 1993.
After Barwon Prison authorities refused to let the killer buy and wear makeup, he launched an appeal, reports Yahoo.com.
Brian Russell, whose daughter Natalie was strangled by Denyer after slitting her throat, said the case was a huge shock and a waste of resources and of taxpayers' money.
He said: "If you kill three people, then you give away all rights and this farce should not be allowed to continue. This has just rubbed salt into our wounds which, after 10 years, are still open."
Victoria state Corrections Minister Andre Haermeyer said: "The fact that he has demonstrated his hatred of women and now he wants to be one, I find that pretty disgusting.
"I think it's a frivolous application and I think it's offensive, terribly offensive, to the families of his victims and that's why we're fighting it all the way."
