"Hugh Hughes, a retired UK detective with the Metropolitan police, has spent three decades travelling back and forth between his home in Wales and Canberra, trying to solve the murder of Keren Rowland, a cousin of his Australian wife, Andrea. Hughes is convinced that Rowland, who went missing from Canberra on 26 February 1971, was the first victim of the notorious serial killer Ivan Milat."
"The NSW premier, Chris Minns, agreed to the inquiry after Buckingham presented him with the 1965 identikit picture of the man believed responsible for the notorious Wanda Beach murders of two young girls, Christine Sharrock and Marianne Schmidt, and another of a young Ivan Milat. There is certainly a resemblance. But Buckingham wants the inquiry to go much further and investigate impediments in the justice system that impacted the delivery of justice."
Retired UK detective Hugh Hughes spent three decades traveling between Wales and Canberra investigating the disappearance and presumed murder of Keren Rowland, who went missing from Canberra on 26 February 1971. Hughes is convinced Rowland was the first victim of Ivan Milat. Ivan Milat was convicted in 1994 for the murders of seven backpackers found in Belanglo state forest and died in custody in 2019 at age 74. NSW MLC Jeremy Buckingham believes Milat murdered many more, possibly over 80, and successfully lobbied for a parliamentary inquiry into unsolved murders and long-term missing cases from 1965 to 2010, which will call for submissions.
