Sick contents of Ivan Milat's final sealed letter revealed
<p>Australian serial killer Ivan Milat wrote a letter 48 hours before his death, demanding the government shell out the costs for his funeral.</p>
<p>Just days before the convicted killer’s imminent death, Milat wrote a one-page letter on Thursday, addressed to his brother Bill and sister-in-law, instructing for it to remain sealed until his death.</p>
<p>He died a mere 48 hours later, at the age of 74, in Long Bay jail’s hospital after being diagnosed with esophageal and stomach cancer in May.</p>
<p>Milat was sentenced in 1996 to seven consecutive life sentences for murdering seven backpackers.</p>

<p>Their bodies were found discarded in shallow graves, in the Belanglo State Forest in the 1990’s.</p>
<p>“It's the taxpayer that put him in there (prison) so the taxpayer has to pay. Corrective Services had him all this time so Corrective Services can foot the bill,” Ivan’s brother, Bill Milat told Channel 10 on Monday.</p>
<p>The backpack murderer signed off the letter with his name and a small drawing of a figure with a halo above the word innocent.</p>
<p><strong>Ivan Milat’s final letter</strong></p>
<p><em>Hello and may all be well with both of you and your family. Things are fairly crook with me but while I in mind and senses I would like you to know that years ago you were nominated as my next of kin contact person by CS NSW, that's Corrective Services New South Wales.</em></p>
<p><em>Due to my health issues, I wish to leave you all I have. All funds, moneys held in my prison account and to possessions of all other items of property, legal and trial and appeal reviews documents held on my behalf by Corrective Services NSW. Above all I request be given to William [Address] I thank you for this.</em></p>
<p><em>I realise and am aware that this letter my wishes may not be legal will and testament CS NSW Government Services and probate procedures may come into play I believe. But hope this letter may clearly show my intentions and wishes that you Bill receive my funds and legal documents.</em></p>
<p><em>Keep this letter to show it to your solicitor that you may sole beneficiary. Please don't pay for my funeral services or contribute in any way. CS NSW to fund it all. A paupers burial or whatever is suitable. I have assured the commissioner of CS of NSW of my wishes.</em></p>
<p><em>I am innocent of the crimes convicted of.</em></p>
<p><em>Ivan Milat</em></p>
<p><em>24/10/2019</em></p>
<p>Bill told 10 Daily he was sorry for the young backpackers who died, but maintains his brother is innocent.</p>
<p>“Awfully sorry that these people have lost their loved ones, you've got to feel for them, they're kids and kids should be entitled to roam the country wherever without being hindered or picked up of molested.</p>
<p>“I just hope this doesn't happen again.”</p>
<p>He says the family will not have a private funeral for Ivan, and instead he will be cremated and scattered.</p>
<p>“Have a funeral and every kook in the country will be there -- if he was buried they'd desecrate the grave and make a mess of the place,” he explained.</p>
<p>Correctional Services on Monday said its commissioner had not received any recent correspondence from Milat.</p>

<p>“Corrective Services NSW will under no circumstances be paying for this funeral,” a spokeswoman stated.</p>
<p>Boris Milat, another brother of Ivan, is the only member of the Milat family to speak out against the convicted killer,.</p>
<p>“I am definitely embarrassed to be a Milat,” Boris Milat told the Nine Network.</p>
<p>“To me, he died a long time ago ... he's nothing but an evil killer.”</p>
<p>However, most of Ivan's family don't believe he's a serial killer.</p>
<p>“They're denying that he killed anybody. They are saying that the police made it all up,” Boris Milat said.</p>
<p>“I'm putting it out there on the family now, these mongrels hate my guts because I'm the one guy that speaks out ... I just want the truth out there.”</p>
<p>Milat did not admit to any murders while alive, and investigators believe he is responsible for many more.</p>

<p>Former detective Clive Small, who led the NSW Police investigations into the backpacker killings, believe Ivan omitted any information to keep his “power”.</p>
<p>“Ivan, having information that he knew others didn't have, he saw himself as being the boss or in control of the situation,” he told 2GB radio.</p>
<p>“I think he believed that once he gave that information up he no longer had the power.”</p>
<p>In a bid to bring closure to his victim’s families, detectives repeatedly tried to coax a confession out of Milat in the final hours before his painful death.</p>
<p>However, the convicted murderer gave nothing away.</p>
<p>Police remained tight-lipped about the details of the interviews conducted and the tactics they employed, until they were laid out on Monday.</p>
<p>“You could blow me eyes with a blowtorch and I still could not tell you one word about any of them missing people,” Milat said when speaking about the unsolved murders police suspect he committed.</p>
