movie is called Ivan Mirat, and is Australia's most famous "backpacker killer". He was accused of killing at least 7 backpackers from all over the world with cruel methods between 1989 and 1992.
In a year and a half since September 1992, the bodies of seven backpackers from Britain, Germany and Australia appeared one after another. Autopsy confirmed that the victims were brutally stabbed and one of the female victims was also beheaded.
A series of murders targeting backpackers has caused a sensation across Australia. The police have deployed police forces to follow up every clue.
On November 13, 1993, an Englishman named Paul O'Neill called the police, claiming that he was a survivor of the January 25, 1990 attack. He recognized Ivan Milat in surveillance videos collected by the police, who was arrested by the police in the early morning of May 22, 1994.
