Fugitive arrested over Vic vampire killing

ONE of Australia's most wanted men, Mark Adrian Perry, has been arrested in Perth over the Melbourne murder of a self-proclaimed vampire.

Western Australian police arrested Perry, 45, at a factory in the Perth suburb of Morley at about 6.45pm (AEST) on Tuesday.

Victorian detectives have travelled to Western Australia, where Perry is expected to appear before the Perth Magistrates Court on Wednesday afternoon.

Victoria Police will apply for Perry to be extradited to face charges over the 2003 murder of Shane Chartres-Abbott.

A $1 million reward was offered in 2009 for information on Perry's whereabouts.

Chartres-Abbott, 28, was gunned down by two men in front of his girlfriend and father outside his home at Reservoir, in Melbourne's north, on June 4, 2003.

At the time of his death he was on trial for the rape of a female client, who told police Chartres-Abbott believed he was a vampire who needed to drink blood to survive.

Police allege the murder was revenge for a 2002 rape.

Two other men were charged over the murder in March 2008 and October 2012 and are serving time in jail.

Police said in 2009 that Perry had lived in a number of places since becoming aware that he was wanted for questioning, including in Western Australia, Queensland and Thailand.

Perry was last seen in Queensland in September 2007, but was believed to be living under a new identity and may have changed his appearance.

Earlier this year, a court heard that a former police officer, David Waters, and a then-detective sergeant, Peter Lalor, assisted Chartres-Abbott's shooter to find the escort's home.

Neither Mr Lalor nor Mr Waters has been charged and they have both strongly denied any involvement.
