A man has admitted to killing an American mathematician in 1988 by pushing him off a cliff in what was described as a gay hate crime by prosecutors.
Scott White, 51, appeared in the New South Wales state Supreme Court for sentencing on 2 May after he pleaded guilty to the crime back in January.
Scott Johnson’s murder went unsolved for more than 30 years, with the court hearing that White frequently bragged about attacking gay men.
The victim’s body was discovered by fisherman at the bottom of a cliff in North Head, Sydney, a place that was reportedly known for gay cruising.
