Kylie Maria Antonia Maybury[1] (24 October 1978 – 6 November 1984) was an Australian schoolgirl from Preston, an inner-city suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
[3] More than 30 years after her death, in June 2016 Victoria Police arrested and charged Gregory Keith Davies with the abduction, rape, and murder of Maybury.
[2] She was a primary school student in grade one and was enrolled in calisthenics (to give historical context: the early 1980s was an era of an exercise and fitness movement targeted at little girls and adult women).
[9] In June 2016, 73-year-old Gregory Keith Davies was charged with the false imprisonment, rape and murder of Maybury, with a committal hearing for the case scheduled for May 2017.
[12] At the time of the attack on Maybury, Davies lived in the area with his mother,[13] and drove a white Holden HQ station wagon,[6] but was removed from the investigation without giving a DNA sample because he gave an alibi.
[15] On 21 December 2017, Davies was sentenced by Justice Lex Lasry in the Supreme Court of Victoria to life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 28 years.
In February 1971 he was tried in the Victorian Supreme Court on the charge of attempted murder and wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, the victim being a 14-year-old girl.
