Malcolm Naden captured
22 Mar, 2012 02:38 AM
MALCOLM Naden, one of Australia's most wanted fugitives, has been captured north of Gloucester. A senior police source has told Fairfax that no one was injured when they swooped on the armed and dangerous man in rugged bushland.
The capture puts an end to an at times embarrassing hunt for the former meat worker who has managed to elude police for nearly seven years.
"We’ve just got off a satellite phone, so it's pretty remote but they've got him and locked him up," the police officer said.
Naden has been wanted since the discovery of the body of Kristy Scholes in the bedroom of his family's home in Dubbo in June 2005.
Police also link him to the murder of his cousin, Lateesha Nolan, who was last seen in January 2005.
A 33-year-old police officer was wounded when Naden opened fire in December last year after police received information leading them to a campsite near Nowendoc.
Earier this month NSW police announced Naden was in possession of a semi-automatic firearm.
