Still regarded as Australia’s most heinous serial killings, South Australia’s Snow-town killings, also known as the “bodies-in-the-barrels” murders has left a harrowing legacy of pain and trauma.
Now, 25 years on, one man involved, 65-year old Mark Ray Haydon, could be freed from jail in a matter of months, with no restrictions or supervision.
“He has completed the sentence the court has imposed,” says presiding member of the Parole Board Frances Nelson KC. “His head sentence expires in a few weeks, so of course he will be released.”
