A ruthless killer who stabbed a mother-of-three in the chest and throat and left her to die in a pool of her own blood during a botched robbery has been found dead in his jail cell.
Scott Alan Murdoch was sentenced to life behind bars with a non-parole period of 36 years in May 2020 for stabbing Kylie Blackwood multiple times in her Pakenham home, in Melbourne's south-east, in August 2013.
He was also convicted for hammering a knife into the throat of defenseless grandmother Ilona Prohaska just three months prior.
At about 6am on Monday morning, the 43-year-old was found dead inside Melbourne Assessment Prison.
