The attempted murder of Paul Onions is one of the most critical cases in the Ivan Milat investigation. As a survivor, Onions provided direct evidence linking Milat to the crimes. His testimony played a decisive role in Milat’s identification and conviction.
Milat picked up Onions while he was hitchhiking and drove toward Belanglo State Forest. He produced a weapon and attempted to restrain him. Onions managed to escape, preventing his murder.
