A jailhouse manuscript penned by Victoria's worst serial killer should never be allowed to be published, a victims of crime support group says.
Seven-time murderer Paul Steven Haigh lays blame on some of his victims for their deaths in his book The House of the Blue Light, which contains a harrowing account of how he killed two of his victims.
Crime Victims Support Association president Noel McNamara said the book should never be published.
"It's just showing a complete disrespect and disregard of victims," Mr McNamara said today.
Mr McNamara said if the book was ever released, it would add to the grief felt by families dealing with the traumatic murder of a loved one.
"When you've got cold-blooded killers writing their thoughts, it just leaves a very nasty taste in your mouth," he said.
"As far as I know, there's no laws about cold-blooded killers saying what they like, which is pretty disgusting.
"That shouldn't be allowed to happen. Something's got to be done."
In the book, Haigh gives a harrowing account of how he killed Sheryle Gardner and her nine-year-old son Danny Mitchell in 1979, News Ltd has reported.
"I shot the mother first. Then, while consoling the boy, I shot him with the second gun when his back was turned to me," he writes.
He writes that some of his victims only had themselves to blame, News Ltd reported.
Haigh was jailed for life over the murders of six people in the late 1970s. He also helped a sex offender hang himself in Pentridge Prison in 1991.
He has filed an application to seek a minimum non-parole term.
Mr McNamara said Haigh was remorseless and he would write to the Victorian government in a bid to prevent the book being released.
"You can't let these people out. You can see he's learnt nothing by putting out something like that."
