Daughter of Australia's most notorious serial killer Ivan Milat dies suddenly at 57 after being taunted over killings

THE daughter of notorious backpacker murderer Ivan Milat has died suddenly after developing a blood clot.

Lynise Milat was constantly taunted over her father's callous crimes in Australia before her death at the age of 57.


She died on Saturday at Gosford Hospital, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Lynise's mother Marilyn Milat-Tempest had secret trysts with Milat while also in a relationship with his brother, Boris.

Evil Milat died back in 2019 at the age of 74 after suffering terminal oesophagus and stomach cancer – more than two decades after he was convicted of the backpacker murders in 1996.

The serial killer assaulted, imprisoned, robbed and murdered two men and five women in New South Wales between 1989 and 1992.

"She died on Saturday in hospital after doctors fought to revive her."

Lynise, who leaves behind 33-year-old son Adrian, worked at Coles in recent years.

She previously denied her father's part in the horrific murders and claimed the police were "framing" him.

Lynise told the Daily Telegraph: "He was framed, they (police) were desperate to find the person."

Milat was arrested in 1994 and was locked up at NSW's maximum-security prisons until his death.

He was handed seven life sentences for the brutal killings – but was also linked to several other unsolved murders.

Despite being jailed, Milat maintained his innocence and refused to confess.
