The body of the fourth
victim of the Mt Macedon murderer was found on the slopes of Camel's
Hump yesterday by picnickers. The police have not named the victim
as he has not been formally identified. However, The Age
understands that the victim had been sexually assaulted before being
mutilated and murdered. His body was dumped off the peak of Camel's
Hump into dense native bushland. The body was not discovered for
several days. Camel's Hump is a popular family picnicking site.

Police would not comment
on any similarities between this case and previous cases, where
victims were apparently given the date rape drug, GHB, before being
brutally raped and strangled. The previous victims were all dumped
in the Macedon Ranges area. A police spokeswoman warned gay men not
to go home with strangers. Mr Peter Smith, a spokesman for C.A.M.P,
the gay rights organisation, condemned the slow police response to
the serial murders. “The police and the government don't care
about gays. If it had been children or women killed they would have
a full-on investigation going right now, and some of these men would
today be alive.” The Minister for Police, Mr Thaddeus McFarlane,
and the Police Commissioner Justin Theotokos did not return The
Age's calls.
