A seemingly charming and likeable young man, he walked the streets of Melbourne’s north-west with evil on his mind. It would be the making of a monster.Over two decades, this sadistic man with links to white supremacist groups, unleashed physical and sexual abuse on women he’d meet, raping and brutalising his victims, who now call him the “son of Satan”.
Detective Senior Sergeant Steve Higgins and Senior Constable Matthew Whiteside from the family violence taskforce.“He thrived off power and when he saw blood, it would excite him. His eyes, Andrew had hazel eyes, and he used to have this film come over them when he was mad. I used to think there was a demon inside of him,” Mulholland said.
“This was the taskforce’s first really significant investigation. We probably never expected it to get as big as it did, but the more we looked into it, the more we found,” McCann said. “Andrew was very charming, very much a flatterer who’d pay close attention to these women at a time when they were feeling vulnerable and when they did not have anyone else telling them they were special or loved.
Males was charged in June 2017 with more than 130 offences against nine women, following 18 months of police work.– of nine counts of rape, 10 counts of intentionally causing injury, three counts of making threats to kill, one of assault and one charge of false imprisonment, and jailed for 25 ½ years.
Assistant Commissioner Lauren Callaway said Victoria was the first state to create a dedicated family violence command to deal with high-level offenders and help support local stations with complex investigations and advice.
