Paul Steven Haigh (born 5 September 1957) is an Australian serial killer currently serving six sentences of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the murder of seven people in the late 1970s. Haigh has claimed that he suffers from Borderline Personality Disorder and thus deserved a lighter sentence, but this is an unsubstantiated claim by Haigh.[1] An appeal was rejected on 13 December 2012.[2]
