The naked body of 27-year-old mathematician student Scott Johnson was found at the bottom of a cliff in the Sydney suburb of Manly in December 1988 and was ruled as a suicide by authorities at the time.
In 2018, Scott’s brother Steve the BBC that it was “inconceivable” that his brother had jumped off a cliff. However, a 2017 enquiry concluded that Scott was likely killed in a gay hate crime due to other similar cases of homophobic murders around Sydney’s beaches in the 1980s.
