Serial killer Bandali Debs old house available to rent

For $420 a week tenants can live at 30 Springfield Drive, Narre Warren, where Debs was arrested over the 1998 murders of Sergeant Gary Silk and Senior Constable Rodney Miller.

Debs, who is serving a life sentence for the police murders, has also been convicted of murdering Beaconsfield Upper teenager Kristy Harty and western Sydney woman Donna Hicks.

Title documents show Debs owned the four-bedroom house until its $480,000 sale in November 2016.

It was sold as a renovator’s delight and is now marketed for rent as a substantial family home in a prime location.

“Positioned around the corner is Fountain Gate shopping centre, this is the perfect spot to start living,” the listing reads.

It says the home’s ground floor is made up of two separate living areas, with a family room that opens to a spacious backyard.

It is believed to be the first time the new owners have offered it for rent.

The $420 weekly asking price is $60 more than a median-priced rental in the suburb, according to CoreLogic data.

Debs and accomplice Jason Roberts, then aged 17, were convicted of gunning down Sgt Silk and Senior Constable Miller in Moorabbin in August 1998 during a police operation to catch two bandits holding up restaurants across Melbourne’s southeast.

In 2000, police raided and arrested Debs at his Springfield Drive house, and had previously placed bugs in the home and his car.

After Debs was convicted of the Silk-Miller murders, his DNA led to his conviction for the murders of Kristy Harty, who was shot in the head in Beaconsfield Upper in June 1997, and NSW sex worker Donna Hicks, who was shot dead in western Sydney in April 1995.

The Herald Sun revealed in Jauaury this year that Debs is also a “live suspect” in the attempted murder of another two police officers in 1994.

Under the current disclosure laws, real estate agents are only required to disclose information about a property’s chequered past, such as if it had been the scene of a murder or other serious crime, if asked directly.

But sellers are not required to release this information to their agent.

Last year, Minister for Consumer Affairs Marlene Kairouz told the Hearld Sun the government was “currently looking into this issue” as part of a review.

“People have a right to know details about a property before they buy, particularly if it has a violent or criminal history,” Ms Kairous said.

A spokesman for the minister said there were no further updates.

Stockdale & Leggo Narre Warren, the agency looking after the listing, were contacted but declined to comment.
