Former policeman found guilty over cold case murder
A Supreme Court jury has found former police officer Steven Frederick Johnson, 74, guilty of murdering Warrnambool man Christopher Jarvis in 2006. The jury deliberated for four days after a 21-day trial in Warrnambool. The court heard Johnson killed Mr Jarvis, his tenant, over $2,210 in unpaid rent, then buried him in Framlingham Forest. Mr Jarvis's body has never been found. Johnson did not apply for bail and will appear in court for a plea hearing on December 14.
