Notorious killer dies of cancer​

A mechanic described as one of WA's worst killers has died after a long battle with cancer nine years after he was jailed over the brutal murder of a prostitute.
The Department of Corrective Services confirmed that Alexander Ronald Mackenzie died in hospital at the weekend.
The 60-year-old was jailed for life with a 25-year minimum over the wilful murder of prostitute Roslyn Watson, who was repeatedly stabbed in a Leederville home in January 1986. He continually denied involvement in her death.

It was not until 2001 that homicide detectives charged Mackenzie with the murder after forensic evidence was re-examined using new fingerprint technology.
He also attacked another prostitute in Fremantle in 1984 but she convinced him to let her go.
On January 29, 1986, Mackenzie arranged for Ms Watson to meet him at the Leederville home he had visited while inspecting a car.
Ms Watson called the escort agency to confirm her arrival before she was attacked.
She was found dead on the lounge room floor naked with her hands bound together and had seven stab wounds from two weapons.

Man sentenced for 1986 prostitute murder​

A 51-year-old man was sentenced to life in prison with strict security for the wilful murder of a Perth prostitute 17 years ago.
Alexander Ronald Mackenzie was found guilty last month of murdering Roslyn Watson at a house in Leederville in 1986, and assaulting another prostitute in Fremantle a year earlier.
Justice Geoffrey Miller said Mackenzie attacked Ms Watson in a brutal and frenzied way that involved torture.
He ordered Mackenzie serve 25 years in jail before being eligible for parole.
Outside the court Mackenzie's ex-wife Anne Davies said she reported him to police in 1986 because she suspected he murdered Ms Watson.
She said she was happy with the result.
"The right thing has been done now he's not going to be able to hurt anybody else and he's deserved every day of the sentence that he's got," Ms Davies said.

WA killer let out of prison to die​

One of the killers of WA coman Clare Garabedian has been let out of jail after it was revealed she was suffering terminal cancer.

A convicted killer serving a minimum 20 years in jail over the murder of a Perth sex worker has been granted early release on compassionate grounds.
Amanda Kaylene Hoy, 46, is understood to have been transferred to a palliative care hospital last week where she is expected to die in coming days.
Hoy, who is believed to have terminal cancer, was given a life sentence over the August 1998 murder of prostitute and heroin addict Clare Garabedian at a Rivervale motel.

Three other people, including Hoy’s boyfriend Martin Graeme Coates, were sentenced to long prison terms.
Ms Garabedian was lured to the motel and injected with heroin before being smothered with a pillow in a plot to eliminate her as a witness in a case involving Hoy and Coates.

The 21-year-old victim had reported an incident to the police about two months before her death that resulted in the couple being charged with assault and threats to kill.
Ms Garabedian’s family told Seven News Perth yesterday that they felt let down by the justice system after they were informed of Hoy’s release in a phone call on Thursday, after it had happened.

Men who threaten hurt or kill women from any walk of life, deserve prison and a slow painful death. Good riddance to bad rubbish

I think there's a History forum somewhere here and a bloke called Historian who comes up with interesting stuff.
