More than 30 years after American mathematician Scott Johnson died after falling off a cliff in Sydney, a man has been charged with his death in an apparent gay hate crime.

The Associated Press

They said the man was arrested at a property in Sydney’s northern suburbs. He was taken to a local police station for questioning, and was later charged with murder. He was refused bail and is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday. A 1 million Australian dollar reward for information leading to an arrest in the case was offered in 2018, and Johnson’s family in March pledged to match that amount.
