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.

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.
Steve Johnson said in a statement that his brother symbolizes those who lost their lives to homophobic-inspired violence. Johnson said his brother graduated at the top of his class at CalTech and later studied at Cambridge and Harvard universities before moving to Australia.
