Man who killed young mother so he could sexually assault her two-year-old daughter had a 'child-sex hit list' notebook
A 43-year-old man is believed to have murdered his short-term girlfriend in 2008 because he wanted to then sexually assault her two-year-old daughter. The horrific details of the murder of 20-year-old mother Karlie Pearce-Stevenson and daughter Khandalyce Pearce in the December of that year by Daniel James Holdom have finally been made public after a suppression order was lifted at the New South Wales Supreme Court last week.
The bodies of the pair were found five years apart, with Pearce-Stevenson's body only identified after her daughter's skeleton was discovered in a suitcase on a highway in South Australia in 2015. After murdering both of them, Holdom dumped their bodies 1,200 kilometers apart from each other, making it impossible for investigators to connect the crimes until both bodies were uncovered.
