Robert Joe Wagner (b. 28 November 1971 [http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/cases/sa/SASC/2003/251.html R v BUNTING & OTHERS (NO 3) No. SCCRM-01-205 (2003) SASC 251 (29 October 2003)] , "Supreme Court of South Australia", 29 October 2003] ) is an Australian serial killer, currently serving life imprisonment for his role in the murder of ten victims of the Snowtown murders. Wagner, driven to murder by his hatred for pedophiles, has been described as being amongst "Australia's worst" serial killers. [http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/09/08/1062901999924.html Worst serial killers may die in jail] , "Sydney Morning Herald", 9 September 2003]

Wagner fried and ate the flesh of his final victim, David Johnson. [http://www.smh.com.au/news/National/Snowtown-killers-ate-bits-of-last-victim/2005/09/19/1126981991197.html Snowtown killers ate bits of last victim ] , "Adelaide Advertiser", 19 September 2005] At his sentencing, Wagner rose in the dock and stated:

:"Pedophiles were doing terrible things to children. The authorities didn't do anything about it. I decided to take action. I took that action." [http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2003/s978149.htm Snowtown murderers get life] , "Lateline", 29 October 2003]

On 27 September 2002, Wagner pleaded guilty to three charges of murder for the murders of Barry Lane, Fred Brooks and David Johnson. He would plead not guilty to the remaining seven murder charges, and eventually be convicted of ten.
