Bradley John Murdoch (born 19 February 1958) is an Australian criminal serving life imprisonment for the July 2001 murder of English backpacker Peter Falconio in Australia.

[3] At 15 years old, he left high school and moved back to Geraldton, where he started becoming involved in biker gang criminal activities.

He was then employed as a truck driver (and illicit-drug smuggler), and admitted in court to smuggling large amounts of cannabis.

[4] He also began to display white supremacist tendencies (particularly in the wake of the 1992 Mabo decision), alongside a racist tattoo.

Murdoch pleaded not guilty to charges of murdering Peter Falconio and assaulting and attempting to kidnap his girlfriend Joanne Lees.

[12] On 12 December 2006, he appealed against his life sentence in the Supreme Court, claiming the evidence of Lees was tainted because she had seen a photograph of him on the internet before she was interviewed by police, as well as an article linking him to the murder.
