Melbourne murder suspect Scott Miller to be extradited to Victoria - ABC Online

Updated July 01, 2014 13:47:23

A homeless man will be extradited to Victoria over the rape and murder of a woman in a Melbourne park.

Scott Allen Miller briefly appeared in Batemans Bay Local Court on the New South Wales south coast this morning.

Victorian detectives successfully applied for the 42-year-old's extradition to face questioning and possible charges over the rape and murder of a Chinese hospitality worker.

The 32-year-old woman's body was found in a garden at the Kings Domain, south of the Yarra River on Saturday.

She is yet to be formally identified.

Police revealed they had surveillance footage showing the woman being approached by a man near the Victoria Police Memorial on St Kilda Road and then being chased into the gardens.

Miller was handcuffed when he appeared in court and dressed in a green tracksuit with his blond hair tied back in a small bun.

He appeared alert and answered two questions from the local magistrate politely.

The Victorian detectives will now drive Miller back to Melbourne, where he is expected to face Melbourne Magistrates court tomorrow.

NSW police said before Miller appeared in court, he was arrested after being spotted by an off-duty officer near Eden.

Detective Inspector Kevin McNeill said the officer was swimming when he noticed Miller.

"Upon returning to the shore they've seen the wanted person camping in a small cove area," he said.

"They've then gone about their duties for the day and then the officer's come to work in the afternoon and seen the picture of the wanted person and went back to the location where he saw him and found out his details and arrested him and taken him back to Eden police station."

MELBOURNE is exploring a move to the University of Melbourne.

The Herald Sun can reveal that Demons officials have raised the prospect of shifting football’s oldest club to the prestigious Parkville campus.

Under the plan, Melbourne would finally be able to have its administration, football department and training facilities on the one site.

LIVE CHAT WITH SHEEDS: RARE LEGENDS, RARE STORIES

Club sources said any relocation to the university would still be some time away. The Demons would potentially gain access to the university’s renowned academic facilities, while the university would receive a world-class training centre.

Redevelopment of University Cricket Ground, home to amateurs football clubs Uni Blues and Uni Blacks, and the adjacent athletics track, both nestled among residential colleges, would be one option to accommodate the Demons.

Melbourne is in discussions with university chiefs over the formation of an off-field partnership centred around research.

The educational agreement would also form part of the Demons’ plan to better link itself with the city’s icons while the exposure of its brand to thousands of international students would boost its small supporter base.

Melbourne chairman Glen Bartlett, who is concerned by his club’s lack of presence in the city, wants the Demons to become a compelling attraction for visitors and newcomers.

University of Melbourne executive director of engagement and partnerships Adrian Collette said there was an “increasingly close relationship with the club”.

Collette said talks with the club had been purely educational, but didn’t rule out the prospect of the Demons calling the university home in the future.

“They certainly want to put the Melbourne back in the Melbourne Football Club and I would welcome further conversation,” he said.

The Demons have links to the institution, with chief commercial officer George De Crespigny having played for both the Uni Blues and Uni Blacks and represented the VAFA three times.

New AFL chief executive Gillon McLachlan is a Uni Blues life member and is still seen at games.

The university is one of a number of potential sites Melbourne is exploring, along with vacant land at Docklands which the club was linked with five years ago.

Sources said the Demons signed a long-term lease at existing home AAMI Park, but it’s believed breaking that contract wouldn’t be difficult given co-tenants Melbourne Rebels, Melbourne Storm and Melbourne Victory are screaming for more space.

The Demons have long been a club divided, with its administration on the third floor of the MCG’s Great Southern Stand and its football department squeezed into the bowels of AAMI Park on the other side of train tracks.

Lampard bound for Melbourne City: report - Sydney Morning Herald

National Soccer Breaking News Sport Sport

Former Chelsea star Frank Lampard is reportedly heading to Australia for a guest stint with A-League outfit Melbourne City.

Lampard is set to join Spanish great David Villa at the club next season before the pair move to new MLS franchise New York City early in 2015, according to the mirror.co.uk website.

The report claims a deal has already been agreed, with an announcement imminent.

Villa last month signed to play 10 games for Melbourne City.

If the move does go ahead, Lampard - Chelsea's all-time leading goalscorer - will be reunited with former teammate Damien Duff, who has already signed a one-year deal with the A-League outfit.

The 36-year-old midfielder, who featured for England at the Brazil World Cup, is said to have spoken to former Socceroo and Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer about moving to Australia - specifically Melbourne.

"All I can say is that he did ask me about Melbourne Heart. He did ask me what Melbourne was like and what Melbourne Heart was like," Schwarzer told the website.

"There is huge potential in the game in Australia and it would be unbelievable if he went to Australia.

"I said to him that he would love living there; it's a great place to live.

"He walked away with that and I know what he's like. So we will see."

Both New York City and Melbourne City - previously Melbourne Heart - are owned by Manchester City supremo Sheik Mansour.

A deal has been agreed and an announcement is set to be made soon.

Lampard, Chelsea’s all-time top goalscorer, agreed his move to New York City FC at the end of May around the same time as Villa did.

The Big Apple club, howecer, do not kick off their debut campaign until March and Lampard has always maintained he has no intention of playing for another Premier League club against Chelsea.

Both New York City and Melbourne City - previously known as Melbourne Heart - are owned by Man City supremo Sheik Mansour.

Lampard will be reunited Down Under with his former Chelsea team-mate Damien Duff, who has already signed for Melbourne City on a one-year deal.

“I said Sydney was the best place to live!! [Schwarzer is from there]. But I spoke very highly of Melbourne. I actually love Melbourne. It’s a great city. I told him how passionate in particular the Victorians are with their sport.

“There is huge potential in the game in Australia and it would be unbelieveable if he went to Australia. I said to him that he would love living there. its a great place to live.

“He walked away with that and I know what he’s like. So we will see.”

Police have arrested Scott Allen Miller, 42, over the murder of a woman found on Saturday morning in Melbourne. Miller will face court in NSW

Scott Allen Miller, who was identified as the key suspect in the rape and murder of a Melbourne woman will face court in southern NSW, police have revealed.

The 42-year-old homeless man was arrested on the far south coast of NSW on Monday after a national alert was issued by Victorian police.

This follows the discovery of the naked body of a 32-year-old Chinese woman in a Melbourne park early on Saturday morning.

Miller will appear before Bateman's Bay Court on Tuesday, where Victorian police are expected to apply for his extradition.

CCTV footage has emerged which police believe shows Scott Allen Miller chasing the young woman across St Kilda Road into the Melbourne Botanic Gardens.

Police had been searching for Miller since Saturday when he was named as as a suspect in the 'extremely violent' assault and murder of a woman in Melbourne.

He was taken in for questioning over the rape and murder of a woman whose naked body was found by joggers under a tree at Melbourne’s Botanic Gardens on Saturday morning.

The woman is a 32-year-old Chinese national who moved to Australia to work in the hospitality industry.

She has been identified by police and some of her relatives in China have been contacted, but police are yet to forensically confirm her identity and have not released her name.

Homicide Squad Detective Inspector John Potter confirmed on Monday that the woman had been sexually assaulted before she died.

'This is a particularly violent assault on this woman, she has been sexually assaulted and she has been physically assaulted,' Insp Potter said.

Police have no confirmed the cause of death but said the woman died at the scene.

It is believed she was on her way to work at 5.20am on Saturday when she was approached by Miller.

Right: Detectives are looking to speak to the man (right of picture) who was seen on CCTV walking north along Swanston Street past the Melbourne Town Hall with 42-year-old Scott Allen Miller around 1.50am on Saturday

CCTV footage from the morning of the crime shows a woman being chased across St Kilda Road into the Botanic Gardens near the corner of St Kilda Road and Linlithgow Avenue.

Miller had been sleeping rough in the rotunda at the botanic gardens, 200 metres from where the body was found.

Miller was born in the U.S. and once lived in an affluent Perth suburb.

In the 1990s he was a leading figure in the illegal dance party scene in Perth as director of E-Nerve Pty Ltd a company that organised raves, The Age reported.

Earlier this afternoon Homicide Squad detectives appealed for help to identify a second man who was seen out drinking with Miller on the night of the crime and may be able to assist with the investigation.

Police confirmed on Monday evening that the man seen on CCTV footage walking along Swanston Street with Miller about 1.50am on Saturday has now contacted police.

He attended a city police station and made a statement on Monday evening, police say.

Earlier on Monday, Homicide Squad Detective Inspector John Potter urged the man to make contact with police or call Crime Stoppers.

The woman's naked body was discovered in the Royal Botanic Gardens in Southbank

The woman's body was discovered by joggers on Saturday morning under a tree in the popular park

A nationwide manhunt is underway for a homeless man

'We do not believe this man was involved in the woman's death, but it's important we speak to him as he may be able to help with regard to Miller’s whereabouts,' Det Insp Potter said.

Miller and the other male were seen entering a licensed premises on Bourke Street between Swanston and Russell streets around 2am, where it's believe they stayed for a number of hours before leaving separately.

Detectives have been told that Miller was asked to leave the establishment around 5am. He is then seen on CCTV shortly after walking south along Swanston Street and across Princes Bridge.

It is believed he approached the victim at 5.20am and chased her into the botanic gardens.

Police say they have connected Miller to several items found at the crime scene.

Miller, who is originally from Western Australia, has been sleeping on the streets of the city for at least six weeks and is known to police in other states, although he does not have a criminal history in Victoria.

While police issued a national alert, they concentrated their search on the Melbourne area. They also engaged transit police and were looking around train stations as Miller is known to travel by train.

Anyone with information about the death is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or visit http://ift.tt/TqINjN.

Police have not released the woman's name, but say she is a Chinese national who was in her 30s
