Salt Creek attacker found guilty in South Australia
A man has been found guilty of several charges over an attack on two female backpackers on the sand dunes of a remote South Australian beach.
The 60-year-old was on trial for sexually assaulting a Brazilian woman and hitting a German woman with a hammer at Salt Creek, east of Adelaide, in February 2016.
The SA Supreme Court jury delivered its verdict on Saturday, finding the man guilty of six charges including indecent assault, aggravated kidnapping and endangering life, however he was found not guilty of attempted murder.
