When the bodies of seven young people aged 19 to 22 were discovered partly buried in the Belanglo State Forest, 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) south west of the New South Wales town of Berrima, it engendered fear among citizens and foreigners alike. Five of the victims were international backpackers visiting Australia (three German, two British), and two were Australian travellers from Melbourne. A man local to the area, Ivan Milat, was convicted of the murders and is serving seven consecutive life sentences plus 18 years, which effectively guarantees he will never be released back into the community. His great nephew, Matthew Milat, who idolized his great uncle, at the age of 17 murdered his school mate of the same age in the same forest by monstrously beheading him, and is serving 43 years behind bars, the longest sentence ever handed down to a juvenile in Australia. This is the forensic numerological criminal profile of the Milats, two of the worst killers Australia has ever seen.
