Paul Denyer Children: Does Paul Denyer Have A Child?

Paul Denyer Children: Does Paul Denyer Have A Child?: Born on April 14, 1972, Paul Denyer, officially known as Paul Charles Denyer is an Australian serial killer.

At age 11, he slashed the throat of his sister’s teddy bear, and cut the throat of the family cat before hanging it in a tree. At age 13, he was arrested and cautioned for stealing a car; and at age 15, for assaulting a fellow student.

Paul Denyer became known in the media space as the Frankston Serial Killer as his crimes occurred in the neighboring suburbs of Frankston.

At the time of this writing (Wednesday, May 10, 2023), he’s serving three consecutive sentences of life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 30 years.

Paul Denyer was sentenced to life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 30 years for the murders of three young women in Melbourne, in 1993.

Denyer, during the age of 20–21 started to stalk and attack a number of women in and around the Melbourne suburb of Frankston during a five-month period in 1993.

The first murder victim was 18-year-old Elizabeth Stevens, who had come to Melbourne from Tasmania in January 1993 to study at TAFE Frankston. She had moved to Melbourne to study in order to join the armed forces.

Elizabeth Stevens went missing on the evening of Friday 11 June 1993, she had left a note that morning, for her relatives, stating she would be studying at either the TAFE or city library and would be home at 8:00 pm.

When Stevens failed to arrive home, her relatives initially thought she may simply be running late. However, around 10:30 pm, her uncle commenced driving around the area searching for her.

The police were notified soon and her body was discovered at around 5:00 pm the following day by a man collecting pine branches. Stevens was killed only 250 meters from her home.

A month later, on Thursday 8 July, 41-year-old Rosza Toth was abducted around 5:50 pm. She was dragged into the park but broke free after Denyer held a fake gun to her head, and she pretended to submit.

Shaken, and with light injuries, Rosza Toth then ran back to the road, stopped a car, and was assisted by the driver back to her house.

That same night, on Thursday 8 July the second murder victim, 22-year-old Deborah Fream who lived near Kananook Station, Seaford, was abducted in her car.

Deborah Fream had left her 12-day-old son at home with a male friend when she went out at 7:00 pm on a short trip to buy some milk for an omelet dinner.

By 8:00 pm, when she still had not returned, he (the male friend) called Fream’s boyfriend, the police, and the local hospital seeking news of her whereabouts and possible accidents.

On the afternoon of Monday 12 July, a farmer found Fream’s dead body and just like Stevens (first victim), she had been strangled, savagely slashed, and her throat cut.

On Friday 30 July, the third and final victim, 17-year-old schoolgirl Natalie Russell, was attacked while walking home from John Paul College. At the time there was media speculation, heightened public fear, and warnings from her school.

At 8:00 pm, Russell was reported missing to Frankston Police Station, and a police search soon found her body. She had died in a similar manner just like the others.

Paul Denyer was charged with three murder counts and one of abduction, charges to which he later pleaded guilty and did not contest

On 20 December 1993, after four days of hearings, he was sentenced to three consecutive sentences of life imprisonment for the murders of Ms. Russell, Elizabeth Stevens, and Debbie Fream, all committed in the Frankston area during a seven-week period earlier that year.

His sentence of life imprisonment had no parole period but on 31 December 1993, however, Denyer lodged an appeal, which was heard in July 1994 granting him a non-parole period of 30 years (until 2023).

During his imprisonment, Denyer began identifying as a transgender woman but was refused permission by prison authorities to wear make-up, receive sex reassignment surgery, or legally alter his name.

In May 2023, Paul Denyer hit major headlines when his application for parole was denied by the Adult Parole Board of Victoria. The Parole Board notified the families of the victims he murdered.
