Childkiller to Give Evidence on Girl's 41-year-old Disappearance
A CONVICTED childkiller linked to the disappearance of the Beaumont children has been called to give
evidence about a girl who went missing 41 years ago.
Derek Ernest Percy has been called to give evidence in the coronial inquest into the disappearance
and presumed death of seven-year-old Linda Stilwell in 1968.
Percy has been in prison for 40 years over the murder of 12-year-old Yvonne Tuohy and has been linked
to Australia's most notorious child killings of the 1960s, including the Beaumont children in Adelaide
in 1966 and teenagers Christine Sharrock and Marianne Schmidt at Wanda beach in Sydney in 1965.
The inquest at the Victorian Coroner's Court is examining how Linda disappeared from the foreshore at St Kilda beach in August 1968.
Linda's mother, sister and brother appeared deeply affected when Percy, 61, entered the court after
being brought up from the cells under the County Court building.
His thin face was framed by a long white beard and balding hair as he sat expressionless in a dark suit, flanked by two guards.
His lawyer Paul Higham has objected to him giving evidence on the grounds of self incrimination.

New Bid On 1968 Murder- Killer Faces Inquest
Sadistic child killer Derek Percy will be quizzed at an inquest
that could ulock the secrets of Australia's most baffling child murders.
He will be subpoenaed to give evidence at the inquest into the 1968
murderof Sydney toddler Simon Brook.
Breaking three decades of silence, the boy's father, Donald Brook,
said he hoped justice would be done.
"It is in the public interest that the facts should be
established...even after such a long time." This is partly becuase
it encourages trust in the police and in judicial process.
"It is also partly because, assuming that the facts can be
reliably established, it may become impossible to make sure that
no other child will ever suffer the same fate, at the same hands."
Prof Brooks will be among those called to testify in the hearing,
to be held at the Glebe Coroner's Court in Sydney.
Detectives from Victoria and New South Wales and an
identity expert will also give evidence.
A court spokesman said the inquest would be held in mid-december.
The move follows a renewed push from the Victorian Police
cold case unit to re-examine the suspected crimes of Percy.
The Brook case is one in a string of unsolved child murders
and disappearances over which Percy was recently questioned.
Three-year-old Simon Brook's body was found in bushes near the
family home at Glebe Point on May 19, 1968.
An autopsy later found balls of newspaper stuffed down his throat.
During the 1969 inquest into the child's death, a coroner
ruled that the boy had died form suffocaiton.
"It would be almost impossible to find words to express
the revulsion felt at the fiendish crime perpetrated
on this child," the coroner said at the time.
The coroner found the death had been caused by an unknown person.
Now a different coroner will now be asked to decide wether,
on the balance of probabilities, Percy was that person.
Percy remains among one of Victoria's longest serving
prisoners after his trial over the murder of
Yvonne Tuohy at Victoria's Western Port Beach in 1969.
He was found not guilty on the grounds of insanity,
but jailed at the Governor's pleasure.
Victorian police have been working with detectives in three other states
and territories to investigate Percy over other
child murders dating back almost 40 years.

Child Killer Pockets Navy Pension
VICTORIA'S most evil man has amassed a fortune from taxpayers.
Sadistic pedophile Derek Percy has pocketed about $177,000 from a
government-funded naval pension in the 36 years he has spent behind bars.
He has told police he earns almost $200 a fortnight from the pension,
which he has received since his discharge from the navy in 1969.
The discharge followed his arrest for the horrific torture
and murder of 12-year-old Victorian girl Yvonne Tuohy at Western Port Beach in July that year.
Percy has since emerged as a suspect in eight other child
murders across three states in the 1960s.
He has been in jail, at the Governor's pleasure, since the
jury in the Tuohy case found him not guilty by insanity.
But a string of psychiatric reports in recent years have
found him to be bad, not mad, and showing no remorse.
"The most serious aspect of his personality is his sadistic
fantasy life which revolves around children, their torture
and mutilation," said a report.
It is believed he may have used some of the money to pay
lawyers at his various court hearings and reviews. He
reportedly has also invested in gold.
His total pension is almost four times that awarded to
the man who helped jail him, Shane Spiller.
Mr Spiller, who vanished from Wyndham in NSW in 2002, was
awarded $50,000 in victim's compensation in 2000. As an 11-year-old boy,
Mr Spiller was with Yvonne Tuohy when she was abducted, and gave police a
description of Percy's car.
The State Government has joined victims' groups in urging an end
to Percy's taxpayer-funded bonanza.
Police Minister Tim Holding said Percy should give his pension
cheques to the families of his victims. "It's a great shame that
money that should be going to veterans and their dependents is
instead being spent on a man who has committed such a horrendous crime.
"If this person had even a shred of decency he would give this
money to people who have suffered as a result of his actions," he said.
"I would call on him to do this and to finally express remorse
for his heinous crimes."
Crime Victims Support Association president Noel McNamara called
on the Federal Government to cut Percy's pension.
"The public will be shocked, and who could blame them? It's just
another big stuff-up that shouldn't have happened."
"Whatever he's got should be confiscated and the pension should stop."
The office of Federal Veterans' Affairs Minister, De-Anne Kelly,
directed the Sunday Herald Sun to the Department of Defence. A spokesman
said the department would offer a response to the "sensitive" case next week.

Man Questioned Over Beaumont Mystery
DETECTIVES will question notorious child killer Derek Ernest
Percy over the disappearance of the Beaumont children in Adelaide
almost 40 years ago.
The disappearance of Jane, aged 9, Arnna, 7, and Grant, 4, near
Glenelg Beach, Adelaide, on Australia Day 1966, remains one of
the nation's most baffling mysteries.
In an unlisted hearing in Melbourne Magistrates Court today,
homicide detectives from Victoria's cold case unit and police
from three other states were granted permission to quiz Percy
over the crime.
Percy, in his late 50s, is Victoria's longest-serving prisoner.
He has spent 35 years in Ararat prison for the rape, torture and
murder of 12-year-old Yvonne Elizabeth Tuohy.
He abducted her from a spot near the beach in the Warneet area
of South Gippsland on July 20, 1969.
"This application has been sought following investigations by a
multi-jurisdictional taskforce set up in early 2004," Inspector
Craig Walsh said.
"The task force includes detectives from Victoria, New South Wales,
ACT and South Australia who are reviewing a number of unsolved murders
and suspicious disappearances of children between 1965 and 1968."
Media reports last week suggested Tasmanian Police Commissioner Richard
McCreadie believed convicted child killer James O'Neill could have been
responsible for the Beaumont abduction.
But Mr McCreadie and South Australia police rejected the reports, saying
O'Neill had been investigated and there was no evidence to link the
prisoner to the case.

Murder Witness Vanishes In Suspicious Circumstances
THE witness whose testimony
helped jail suspected child
serial killer Derek Ernest Percy
disappeared in suspicious circumstances in 2002, shortly
after he received a secret
crimes compensation payout
for decades of trauma.
Shane was walking
with his friend Yvonne Tuohy,
12, on the beach at Warneet
when Percy confronted them
on July 20, 1969.
Percy abducted, tortured
and killed the girl, but Shane
escaped after he waved a small
tomahawk.
Percy is now the suspect in
eight unsolved child murders
from the 1960s. They include
Adelaide's Beaumont children,
who disappeared from Glenelg
Beach on Australia Day, 1966.
Police from Victoria, NSW,
South Australia and the ACT
interviewed Percy in Melbourne on Wednesday after
detectives were granted a
magistrate's order to question
him. Percy was returned to
Ararat Prison yesterday.
Percy was identified and
arrested largely on the recollections of Shane, then aged 11.
The boy described the man, his
car and accurately identified a
navy insignia on the vehicle.
Percy, a rating, was
stationed at nearby HMAS
Cerberus. Police found him
washing blood from his clothes
at the base.
Percy was found unfit to
plead over the Tuohy murder
on the grounds of insanity. He
has been in custody ever since.
Shane remained terrified of Percy.
"What happened stuffed me... In the line-up at Russell
Street (police station), I had to
pick him," he told The Age in
1998. "I had to walk up and
point right at his nose. The look
he gave me. I can still remember it.
In 2000, Shane applied
for crimes compensation and
was awarded $5000. On appeal
to VCAT he received the maximum $50,000.
In late August 2002, Shane disappeared from the south-
east NSW town of Wyndham,
where he had lived for years. A
Victorian police source said he
feared Shane had been
killed for his compensation
payout. His four-wheel-drive
vehicle is still parked at the
front and squatters have moved
into the house.
A resident who knew him
said: "He was always saying
someone was after him. No one
knows what happened to him."
Local publican Bernadette
Godfrey said: "He was really
scared. He told me that one day
he might just take off."
Police are preparing a brief
of evidence for the coroner on
Shane's disappearance.
Percy was interviewed on
Wednesday about Christine
Sharrock and Marianne
Schmidt, who were murdered
on Sydney's Wanda Beach in
January 1965; the disappearance of the three Beaumont
children, Jane, Arnna and
Grant, in Adelaide in 1966; Alan
Redston, a six-year-old murdered in Canberra in September 1966; Simon Brook, a young
boy killed in Sydney in 1968;
and Linda Stiwell, 7, abducted
from St Kilda in August 1968.
Percy made no admissions
and said he could not remember what he said when interviewed about some of the
murders in 1970.
A prison report stated:
"Early in his incarceration he
was questioned by police about
similar child murders in NSW,
South Australia and Victoria,
where similar acts of sadism
were carried out on victims."
While Percy was found unfit
to plead on the grounds of
insanity, psychiatrists who
have interviewed him since say
there are no signs of mental
disease.
Professor Paul Mullen wrote:
"In common with other psychiatrists who have examined
Mr Percy subsequent to his trial
in 1970, I could find no evidence suggestive of psychiatric
illness."
