“My name is Ivan Robert Marko Milat (Croatian: [iʋan marko milat]; 27 December 1944 – 27 October 2019). I’m commonly referred to in media as the Backpacker Murderer, I was an Australian serial killer who I was convicted for the abduction, assault, robbery and murder of two men and five women in New South Wales between 1989 and 1992. My modus operandi was to approach backpackers along the Hume Highway under the guise of providing them transport to areas of southern New South Wales, then take his victims into the Belanglo State Forest where I would incapacitate and murder them. I’m also suspected of having committed many other similar offenses around Australia, some dating as far back as 1962..”
