The family of a serial killer’s victim say they will be “looking over their shoulder for the rest of their lives” after the murderer threatened to “take them out” upon his release from prison.
Serial killer Reginald Arthurell was released from jail at the end of 2020, after legal experts decided that it was safer to grant parole than allow the sentence to come to a complete end.
“There comes a time when it becomes dangerous to let someone out without supervision at all,” New South Wales’s State Parole Authority chair David Frearson said at the time.
But while the release conditions oblige Arthurell to wear an ankle tag and “not undergo any significant changes of appearance”, they do not appear to have prevented the triple murderer from adopting the name “Regina” and joining a transgender community website.
On the social network the former rodeo cowboy, who now uses the name “Regina Kaye”, poses in a variety of wigs and dresses. One member of the community says Arthurell has made death threats against one of his victims’ families in private Facebook messages.
Arthurell, now 72, served 23 years of a 24-year sentence for murdering fiancée Venet Raylee Mulhall in 1995.
After bludgeoning the 54-year-old divorcée to death, the twisted killer then uploaded a number of selfies while posing in the victim’s dress.
