He killed her, then cut her into pieces and tossed the pieces into the water. Could anything be more cruel, vicious and mean? The man is 55-years old and the victim, a 27-year old childcare worker. Mrs. Rachel Betts, the woman, went missing in August and her left leg was washed up on the Beach of Philip Island five days later – it was identified by the floral tattoo. The man John Leslie Coombs admitted to having strangled her. He then used as many as five knives to dismember her body – hands, legs, head, and torso. These he put in plastic bags and threw them into the Newhaven pier. Only one leg of the woman has been retrieved so far.
