A jury in Melbourne found Matthew Charles Johnson guilty of beating to death his former cellmate, known as the ‘smiling assassin’, in their maximum security jail.
An unsuspecting Williams, also known as ‘the baby-faced killer’, was viciously beaten over the head at least eight times with a 31-inch metal stem of an exercise bike.
He had been reading a front-page story, published in a Melbourne tabloid newspaper that morning, detailing how Victorian state police paid for his nine-year-old daughter Dhakota to attend an expensive public school.
The convicted multiple-murderer lay dead for more than 30 minutes until guards discovered his body after being alerted by Johnson, 38.
On Thursday, the jury sitting at Melbourne’s Supreme Court rejected Johnson’s claims of self-defence, finding him guilty after two days of deliberations. Telegraph online article 29th September 2011
