Ashley Mervyn Coulston is an Australian sailor and triple murderer currently serving three consecutive sentences of life imprisonment plus seven years without any probability of parole for the 1992 murders of three people in Burwood, Victoria and the attempted abduction and robbery of a couple in St Kilda Road several months later. It would be the abduction attempt that would lead police to his involvement in the triple murder which had previously remained unsolved. ==Trans-Tasman voyages== In 1988, Coulston came to media attention when he attempted to sail his custom built 8 foot vessel which he named ''G'Day 88'' from Australia to New Zealand across the Tasman Sea. On 26 January 1988, Coulston left Port Stephens in ''G'Day 88'', a vessel he designed and built himself〔(G'day 88 ), ''Microyachts in the Tasman''〕 however he ran into troubles and on 12 March 1988, activated his vessel's emergency beacon. He was rescued by a passing tanker just north of New Zealand's North Island after spending 46 days at sea in stormy weather. The remains of his vessel washed up on the New Zealand shore several months later.〔(Balaclava Killer case reopened ), Courier Mail, 7 April 2008〕 On 25 October 1988, Coulston attempted his voyage once again sailing from New Zealand to Australia, successfully arriving in Brisbane on 6 January 1989. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ashley Coulston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
