Book Title: Killing for Pleasure
Author: Debi Marshall On Friday 24 February 2006, Mark Ray Haydon was sentenced to 25 years in prison with a non-parole period of 18 years for his complicity in the murder of the victims of what has become known as the “bodies in the barrel” cases and which revolve around the 8 bodies discovered decomposing in plastic barrels in a disused bank vault in 1999 in Snowtown, South Australia. Ultimately, the case resulted in 12 known corpses. This review is dedicated to the known dead. Whatever they may have done or been in life, this dedication is a lament to how they were forced to exit this life. Out of respect for them, the names of the main two key players responsible for their murders will not be mentioned in this review. About 18 months ago, I reviewed a book on this site called All Things Bright and Beautiful which questioned how the same state that produced the Snowtown psychopaths could also produce the epitome of the courteous, erudite and elite in Australia. Debi Marshall’s book in comparison also raises the question of what motivated the sickened murderers, but cites a maxim as springboard for her explanation: “What’s done to children, they will do to society” (Karl Menninger). Marshall’s book sadly, documents an underclass that fed off, exploited, wept about and for, and ultimately is heading on a self-destructive road. The “Snowtown” murderers (who by and large were centred around the Salisbury area of SA) capitalized on the lost, the weak, the transient and the sexually ambiguous who revolved around their circle of contacts. True to psychopathic natures, they invented rationales as to why murdering those who they targeted, was justified. They chose to group those who they targeted as potential torture and murder victims as pedophiles, homosexuals or “tooth fairies” (a spurious defining term for female paedophiles). In reality, the “Snowtown” two were and are just the vile scum of society, seeking to rationalise all past hurts and their recurring sadistic fantasies behind a veneer of justification. It is sad that the mental children and adolescents of society are never apprehended at an early stage, stopped from their infantile power dreams of causing big boy’s fires, and helped to face the adult world with maturity. Debi Marshall’s book is highly recommended and despite the horror of many of the incidents, it is an important work for all Australians to read. "Killing for Pleasure" is published in Australia by Random House Australia.
