Costello was abducted,shoeless,and blasted with a shotgun. His body was dumped in a freeway excavation.''He didn't really see it coming. He didn't believe it was going to come - not from me. I was only a young kid,''Read said.
When asked why he killed Costello,Read said he did not have''the faintest idea''.
Chopper said his second kill occurred in 1974 while he was inside Pentridge Prison. The victim,serial paedophile and child killer Reginald Edward Isaacs,was an English migrant who had tormented young boys across Victoria since 1950. He was first jailed in 1952 for child sex offences,and again in 1957,1964 and 1974. Isaacs was thought to have committed suicide six months into his long jail term.
But in Sunday's interview,Read said he and notorious criminal Charles''Mad Charlie''Hegyalji''walked into Isaacs'cell,and Charlie belted him to the ground''.
