The man who murdered British backpacker Peter Falconio in the NT outback has died while serving his life sentence.
Bradley John Murdoch was serving a life sentence for Mr Falconio’s murder and the assault and attempted kidnap of Falconio’s then-girlfriend Joanne Lees.
Murdoch was in palliative care at Alice Springs hospital after being diagnosed with throat cancer.
NT Chief Minister Lia Finocchiaro said it was disappointing that Murdoch’s refused to reveal the location of his victim’s body.
