Sins of the brother : the definitive story of Ivan Milat and the backpacker murders: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Sins of the brother : the definitive story of Ivan Milat and the backpacker murders" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Like the Beaumont children and the Azaria Chamberlain cases before it, the backpacker murder case in Belanglo State Forest has entered Australian criminal folklore. Seven young people, most of them foreigners backpacking around Australia, brutally murdered, their remains uncovered in 1992 and 1993. It would take scores of police over three years, countless hours of forensic investigation, thousands of false leads and a few precious clues to charge and convict Ivan Milat for their horrific deaths.

Sins of the Brother is the definitive work on Ivan Milat, his family and the murders. Almost four years in the making, informed by exclusive interviews with members of the Milat family, key police investigators and Crown lawyers, this book reveals a family culture so bizarre it would lead inexorably to murder. It also scrutinises the police investigation - its remarkable success and failures, the dramatic turning point and the backbiting and bitterness that followed Milats...

A U T H O R S N O T E

Between 1989 and 1992 Ivan Milat murdered seven hitchhikers, and tried to kill at least one other. Six of those eight were foreign to these shores, but on the whole the comfortable Australia they saw didnt differ so very greatly from the worlds they left at home. Until they met Milat.

This is a story from the places that dont make the brochures and postcards. Its a story about Milats narrow little world and what happened when he let his delusions and fantasies become reality. It is also about the efforts to stop him and find out if he acted alone. It is a story about murder, but there is no murder in it. That can only be told when Milat confesses to what went on in the forest, and who, if anybody, was with him. It is a peculiarly Australian story.

Much of it is told in a novelistic style, but at all times the events and details are, to the best of our knowledge, true. The language may at times sound rather crude, but the story is told in the manner in which it was told to us. In a few instances, names have been changed. People have continually surprised us with their willingness to tell the story. We thank them all wholeheartedly for their co-operation and note that, apart from an occasional beer or coffee, no payment has been made to any person for any information. Where there are conflicting versions of the same event, we have often steered a line of best fit. At other times, we have stuck to one persons version and marked it with an endnote.

I t should be a solemn family occasion. Margaret Milat is in a pretty bad way in hospital with a crook heart, shot hips, a hernia, and Lord knows what other complications a woman gets after bearing fourteen children. There is a chance she might not make it. Most of her brood are coming all the way to the city to see her. Except Mick, of course, being in jail for those armed robberies he and Ivan did. And Margaret who died in a car accident three years ago.

There is no reason, though, why Ivan cant get there, even if he is on the run. Hes been hiding from the cops for two and a half years now, since October 71, but he isnt hard to find. So long as you call him by one of his aliases, Bill, Bill Harris to be sure, or Joe Spanner, there are no dramas. Hes pretty certain the police have lost interest in him, and he feels safe enough to visit family most weekends. He doesnt know that he is a possible suspect in a murder six months old that police are now investigating.
