He was found guilty almost three decades after he sent a parcel bomb the National Crime Authority headquarters in Adelaide in March 1994.

The broad daylight bombing killed Detective Sergeant Geoffrey Bowen as he sat in his own office and seriously injured lawyer Peter Wallis.

Mr Wallis survived the bombing but died in 2018.
