Victorian killer, rapist plays up in court

Disturbed Melbourne schoolgirl killer and rapist Sean Price has spent his plea hearing making rude hand signs and gesturing wildly.

The 33-year-old appeared via video link in the Victorian County Court on Monday, after pleading guilty on Friday to breaching a supervision order.

As lawyers gave submissions to the contested hearing, Price talked and was spotted yawning, flapping his arms and repeatedly making rude finger gestures.

Judge Meryl Sexton asked that the video link audio be muted and warned if his antics continued the link would be terminated.

Price was on bail and subject to a 10-year supervision order when he stabbed Melbourne schoolgirl Masa Vukotic 49 times in March 2015, while she was on her evening walk.

He told police he then raped a woman because he knew he would be going to jail forever.

Price was jailed for life in 2016 for the rape and murder and will be eligible for parole in 2053.

Judge Sexton will sentence him for the breach, which he committed as a result of those crimes, at a later date.
