State: WA Sentence: Sentenced in 1993 to life in jail/ 20 yrs non parole. Offence/Other: Considered one of WA's worst sex killers..... |
William Patrick Mitchell |

Security Eased on Greenough Axe Murderer William Mitchell GREENOUGH axe murderer William Patrick Mitchell has been downgraded to a medium-security prisoner and moved to a regional jail. Prison insiders told The Sunday Times that Mitchell, considered one of WA's worst sex killers, was no longer classed as a maximum-security prisoner. The move has angered his victims' family and friends, who fear Mitchell, right, is being prepared for his release back into the community. In the lead-up to the 17th anniversary of the brutal massacre of a family, they have launched a campaign to keep Mitchell behind bars - even though he is not eligible for parole until 2013. A Facebook group of almost 4000 members last week called on supporters to "write, email, SMS, text, drop into the office" of the Attorney-General or their local MP. Mitchell served the first 16 years of his sentence at Casuarina Prison, the state's main maximum-security prison for men. He was transferred to Bunbury Regional Prison, a medium-security jail with only short-term, maximum-security facilities, last year. Karen MacKenzie, 31, and her children Danny, 16, Amara, 7, and Katrina, 5, were hacked to death at their home near Greenough, south of Geraldton, in February 1993. Mitchell was sentenced to strict security life imprisonment with a minimum of 20 years in October 1993. The 24-year-old farmhand had interfered with Ms MacKenzie's body and sexually assaulted Amara during a frenzied attack, fuelled by a cocktail of drugs. Details of the slaying of the children were deemed too horrific to be made public. Ms MacKenzie's niece, Rebecca Deacon, said the family was not notified until "a few months after" Mitchell had been moved. She said he should never be considered less of a threat because of the horrific nature of the crime. "We weren't told straight away, so we're pretty upset about it," she said. "We looked it up and saw that it was classed as a medium-security prison and that it was for maximum-security people getting ready to come out. "We were actually really surprised that they moved him and that we only found out a few months later. We weren't happy about it." Ms MacKenzie's mother, Barbara Marchant, has called for authorities to "throw away the key" so she can rest easy knowing he will never be freed. The Department of Corrective Services said it was unable to discuss the details of individual prisoners. The Sunday Times (13-2-2010) Yasmine Phllips |

Killers Free to Roam ATTORNEY-GENERAL Jim McGinty has admitted he cannot protect West Australians from murderers. Mr McGinty conceded he could not guarantee that killers, such as Dante Arthurs, who killed young Sofia Rodriguez-Urrutia Shu, would stay behind bars. Confronted with a list of WA's 10-worst incarcerated criminals, Mr McGinty could not promise they would not be released when they came up for parole. He said it was up to the attorney-general of the day to make that decision. "I am not going to pre-judge every case," he said. "The attorney- general of the day will have to pass judgment on them and will have to make his own calls." Arthurs -- who was jailed this week for the murder of eight-year- old Sofia - - could be out on parole in 13 years. He would be 35 years old. Today, The Sunday Times publishes a list of 10 criminals who could be on the streets in 10 years if the attorney-general of the day is sympathetic. Derrin Bardsley and Rebecca Papalii, who murdered a 14-year-old boy in 1999, could be free in less than five years. William Patrick Mitchell, who is serving a life sentence for killing mother Karen MacKenzie and her three children at their home in Greenough, will be eligible for parole in six years. Proposed new homicide laws will let judges put away serious criminals for longer. But life sentences will still have generous minimum parole periods. Liberal Party police spokesman Rob Johnson said: "Life should mean life. "If an attorney-general of the future can be convinced by a psychiatric report that someone like Dante Arthurs should be let out of jail, that is what will happen." Mr Johnson re-iterated his call for reintroduction of the death penalty. But a man whose wife was killed in her Dianella home in 1997 rejected the call. Richard Threnoworth, whose wife Elizabeth was murdered by Dale Robert Mitchell, said taking a life for a life was not the way to go. "Life is precious," he said. "You can't say to someone: `You can't take a life, but we can'." The Sunday Times (11-11-2007) Joe Spangnolo |

`Throw Away the Jail Key' Greenough mum in fear of parole- THE family of a woman and three children hacked to death in the notorious Greenough massacre have pleaded that their depraved sex killer never be released from jail. Fourteen years after her daughter and three grandchildren were murdered by the axe-wielding killer, Barbara Marchant, 63, has issued a heartfelt appeal for authorities "to throw away the key" so she can live out the rest of her days without the worry that he may one day be freed. Karen MacKenzie, 31, and her three children were murdered at their home in Greenough, a historic hamlet near Geraldton, on February 21, 1993. An emotional Mrs Marchant told The Sunday Times that the loss was no easier to comprehend 14 years after it happened. Speaking from her home on Brisbane's outskirts, Mrs Marchant said she was still haunted by graphic detail of the attacks and she worried incessantly that one day the perpetrator would be freed. "Fourteen years on and I'm still angry," Mrs Marchant said. "My life is spent always wondering (if he'll be released). "We have no proof that he's not going to be let out . . . for all we know he could walk out and could kill someone else and I would hate for somebody to have to go through what we went through." Ms MacKenzie's son Daniel, 16, was killed when he walked outside the house to investigate a car arriving. Just minutes later Ms MacKenzie was murdered and raped as she slept on a mattress on the lounge room floor. Amara, 7, and Katrina, 5, were slain while they slept in separate bedrooms. In 1993, William Patrick Mitchell, then 24, pleaded guilty to four counts of wilful murder, three of indecently interfering with a woman's corpse and one of sexually assaulting Amara. The court heard that Mitchell was high on a cocktail of cannabis, alcohol and amphetamines when he killed the family. At the time, Justice Neville Owen ruled that details of the slayings of the children were too horrendous to be made public. He sentenced Mitchell to strict-security life imprisonment with eligibility for parole after 20 years. Several Supreme and High court appeals ensued, including one which delivered a ruling that Mitchell never be released, though another appeal overturned that decision and reinstated his eligibility for parole. Mrs Marchant said she was incensed by the sentence. "You only have to turn on the news to see that somebody who has murdered one person has got 35 years. One person is worth 35 years and three children and their mother is only worth five years apiece if they let him out," she said. "Where's the sense in our laws? "The things (Mitchell) did were beyond belief. "I feel so much hatred. Why kill two helpless little girls and do what he did to her? And do the same thing to my daughter -- she was dead, for Christ's sake. Why would you want to rape a dead body? "The man has to be sick. He has to stay in jail. God forbid if he comes out when he is 44. He's got plenty of time to do it to somebody else, hasn't he? And it frightens me, the thought of that." Mrs Marchant said her family had suffered emotionally and physically, with her youngest son still seeing a psychiatrist for post-traumatic stress. She said she found it hard to allow her other grandchildren any freedom. "Sometimes I think I'm overprotective, I worry so. You don't know whether you should let them go out in the street," she said. "You have to be so careful, there are so many rotten things happening in the world. Children disappearing, children killed. I don't know what our world has come to." * The Greenough Family Massacre will air on Foxtel's Crime Investigation Australia on Thursday, May 31, at 9.30pm.
