Bevan Spencer von Einem (born c. 1945[1]), also known as Bevan von Einem, is a convicted child murderer from Adelaide, South Australia and suspected serial killer. An accountant by profession, he was convicted in 1984 for the murder of 15-year-old Adelaide teenager Richard Kelvin, the son of local TV personality Rob Kelvin, and is currently serving life imprisonment in Yatala Labour Prison.
However, fuel was added to the rumours of a conspiracy, when on 28 August 1989, Einem gave his one and only interview from prison, given to The Advertiser journalist thingy Wordley. In the interview, Einem again pleaded his innocence in the murder of Richard Kelvin and of the four other young men, and regretted taking his lawyer's advice to keep silent during the early stages of the Kelvin investigation. He also hinted that he could name people that could help police with their investigation, but feared for his life if he did and also claimed that his life was already threatened once by two police officers who ordered him not to give evidence in the inquest into the death of Dr. George Duncan in 1972.
Shortly after Einem's interview, police interviewed "Mr. B" again who was now living in Sydney. "B" gave a statement about the Alan Barnes murder that convinced prosecutors to grant him immunity if Einem was brought to trial. Police, now with "B"'s statement and the similar fact evidence from the Richard Kelvin case, then arrested Einem at Yatala Labour Prison on 15 September 1989 for the murder of Alan Barnes. On 10 November 1989, Einem was also arrested for the murder of Mark Langley. Police were never able to obtain enough evidence for charges in the murders of Neil Muir and Peter Stogneff. In the case of Muir an Adelaide doctor had been tried for his murder in 1980 but was found not guilty.
