In 1993, Paul Denyer was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences with no parole. However he appealed and in 1994
won a sentence reduction to a non-parole period of 30 years only, allowing him to apply for parole from 2023. That is an outrage and a huge slap in the face to women and girls, who must be protected from violent deviants like him.
Denyer is only 52 years old as I type this in 2024, he remains a relatively young and strong man. But in fact it would not be safe to release him if he were 82, because sexually motivated serial killers like him remain a danger to females forevermore - they cannot be rehabilitated.
Killers in his category simply should not be eligible for parole, ever. The rights of citizens to be safe, should rank far above the supposed 'rights' of convicted murderers to regain their freedom. In 2004 Denyer began claiming he was a 'transgender woman', and calling himself Paula. He denied his earlier admission that he hated women, saying the real reason for the murders was his 'gender dysphoria', which made him envious and resentful of females. Utter garbage!
His prison requests for sex change surgery were refused - he has since reverted back to his name Paul. As one victim's family member said, it was a stunt.
It's totally wrong victims' loved ones suffer the stress of this freak's repeated parole applications. Throw away the key!

In 2003, Paul Denyer, big, burly, woman-hating, serial killer of females, began identifying as a 'trans woman', and calling himself 'Paula'. Yet another insult to the women whose lives he ended so brutally, and to ALL women!
Denyer suddenly denied his earlier admission he was motivated to kill by a hatred of females, and said he's had gender dysphoria from childhood, and murdered women because he was envious and resentful of them. Utter garbage!
After his prison request for sex change surgery was denied (a request backed by prisoner support groups), he reverted back to his real name Paul. As one victim's family member rightly said, his claim to be transgender was all a stunt.
This '60 Minutes' report doesn't cover Denyer's history, but there were early signs he was highly dangerous. When he was 10, he killed the family's pet cat, cutting her throat and hanging her from a tree. He had a history of bullying smaller children at school, using sexual violence against them (Denyer became morbidly obese as a teen). He applied to join Victoria Police, but failed the medical. He was fired from 7 jobs, the last of which was at a ship builders yard, where he was observed making knives for his own use. Soon he was stalking females in his local neighbourhood.
In 1993, a woman neighbour was the target of an early crime. Denyer broke into her home while she was out with her boyfriend and newborn baby, and killed her pet cat and three kittens in sadistic knife attacks. He staged the scene, slashing furniture and leaving multiple pornographic images torn from magazines, and a message to the woman written in cat's blood. 'Donna You're Next'. He later admitted had the woman been home, he would have murdered her. Other female neighbours were also broken into, but police failed to identify Denyer as a suspect. At the time of the break-ins and murders, he lived with a girlfriend.
No one should be under any illusions - Denyer's crimes were sexual, regardless of whether or not he sexually assaulted the victims or not. That's the reason he targeted females, exclusively - he got perverted pleasure from inflicting sadistic violence on women and girls.
Sex killers like Denyer cannot be rehabilitated, and will forever be a serious risk of harm to females, therefore they are not suitable candidates for parole. In 2023 his first attempt at winning parole was rejected. He should never have been allowed to apply! In 1993 he was originally sentenced to three consecutive Life terms with no parole, which was exactly right. But he appealed, and incredibly the following year he was successful, winning a non-parole period of 30 years, making him eligible for parole from 2023. That ruling was an utter outrage! Women and girls must be protected from violent deviants like Denyer.
In October 2023 the Australian government announced a change in the law to withdraw future parole rights from Denyer and other prisoners in the most serious category (eg multiple murders/murders of children).
