Gregory John 'Bluey' Brazel (born 17 November 1954) is a convicted Australian serial killer, arsonist, and armed robber currently serving three consecutive life sentences for the murders of sex workers Sharon Taylor and Roslyn Hayward in 1990, and the murder of Mordialloc hardware store owner Mildred Hanmer during an armed robbery in 1982 to which he confessed some eighteen years later.
Mildred Teresa Hanmer was shot in the chest on 20 September 1982 during an armed robbery at her Mordialloc hardware and gift store.
In 2006, Brazel was awarded A$12,000 in damages in an out of court settlement after suffering a violent attack with a broken bottle while imprisoned at Melbourne's privately operated Port Phillip Correctional Centre in Laverton in May 2001.
Brazel sought County Court approval and, on appeal, was granted access to documents including a prison map and an incident report so he could sue the Victorian Government for failure to exercise reasonable care to protect him.
[4] In 2022, Brazel accused prison officers of interfering with his mail and destroying his USB flash drive, claiming 99% of all his legal documents were lost.
