Former bush fugitive Malcolm Naden has been sentenced to life in prison for the murder of Kristy Scholes.
Justice Price also sentenced Naden to a minimum of 21 years for the murder of his cousin Lateesha Nolan.
Naden also pleaded guilty to a raft of other charges, including the indecent assault of a 12-year-old girl and the attempted murder of
a police officer.
Justice Price said Naden had psychopathic tendencies, suffered a personality disorder and was a high-risk of committing violent
offences in the future.
The sentencing comes nearly a decade after Naden went on the run in 2005.
His capture last year in bushland near Gloucester marked the end of one of the state’s biggest manhunts.
