JAMES MILLER AND CHRISTOPHER WORRELL, AKA THE TRURO SERIAL MURDERERS
Between December 1976 and January 1977, seven young women in Adelaide were abducted and murdered during a 51-day period. All of the young women had previously been reported missing. Then, over a 12-month period between 1978 and 1979, the bodies were discovered in shallow graves in the bush.
James Miller (b. 1938) and Christopher Worrell (b. 1954) had been friends for many years. Both were petty criminals in their own right, and even served a term of imprisonment together. Miller was a homosexual and became infatuated with Worrell, who it would seem was the dominant force and also bisexual; his yearning for women seemed to overtake his male sexual desires according to the events that followed.
On the night of Thursday, 23 December 1976, Miller and Worrell were cruising around the city in their car. There were many young women about that night and Worrell told Miller to drive around the main block of the city centre while he went for a walk. Miller drove around for a short time and then he picked up Worrell and 18-year-old Veronica Knight at the front of the Majestic Hotel. Veronica had accepted the offer of a lift home. She lived at the nearby Salvation Army Hostel in Angus Street and had become separated from her friend while shopping at the City Cross Arcade.
On the way to her home, Miller talked her into going for a drive with them in the Adelaide foothills. Miller pulled the car off the road onto a small track and Worrell forced the girl into the back seat. Miller went for a walk to allow his friend some privacy and waited for half an hour before returning to the car. Worrell was sitting in the front seat and the girl was lying motionless on the floor in the back. She was fully dressed. Worrell told Miller that he had just raped and murdered the girl.
They then drove to Truro a few miles further on. They drove down a dirt track and pulled over next to a wooded area. When Miller resisted helping Worrell lift the body from the car, Worrell threatened him with the knife. They then disposed of the body.
On 2 January 1977, and in similar circumstances, Worrell picked up 15-year-old Tania Kenny, who had just hitchhiked up from Victor Harbour. Worrell had chatted her up in the street. They drove to Miller’s sister’s home on the pretext of picking up some clothes. After checking that no one was home, Worrell and Tania went into the house while Miller waited in the car. Eventually, Worrell came out to the car and asked Miller to come inside. From the look on Worrell’s face, Miller knew that something was drastically wrong. In the children’s playroom was Tania’s body – she had been bound with rope and gagged with a piece of sticking plaster. She was fully clothed and had been strangled. Miller and Worrell had another violent argument. Worrell threatened to kill Miller if he didn’t help him hide the body. They hid the body in a cupboard and returned later that night, putting the body in the car then driving to a remote location where they had been earlier in the day and had already dug a shallow grave. They buried Tania in the prepared grave. Miller later maintained that he helped bury the body because he didn’t want to get his sister involved.
On 21 January 1977, a third young female victim met her death. The pair met 16-year-old student Juliet Mykyta at the Ambassador’s Hotel in King William Street. She had just rung her parents to tell them that she was going to be a little late getting home and that they were not to worry. She was sitting on the steps of the hotel waiting for a bus at 9pm when Worrell offered her a lift. Miller drove to one of their
