Gregory ‘Bluey’ Brazel requests sandwich press, blender in outrageous jailhouse demands

A personal sandwich press, blender and 14 packets of sardines are among the outrageously extravagant jailhouse demands requested by a triple murderer and prison pest.

A triple murderer and serial prison pest has made exorbitant demands behind bars, including a request for 14 cans of sardines, a blender and sandwich press in his cell.

An infamous serial killer made outrageous demands that he have access to a personal sandwich press and blender in his prison cell.

Gregory “Bluey” Brazel, serving three life sentences for killing women, took the state of Victoria to court over injuries he allegedly suffered when sprayed by a “chemical agent” at the Melbourne Remand Centre.

The 70-year-old, who killed a Mordialloc shop attendant during an armed robbery in 1982 and two sex workers in Sorrento and Colac 1990, agreed to a settlement in early 2024 following extensive mediation.

Legal documents reveal in the early stages of the negotiation, the notorious jailhouse litigant demanded his Barwon Prison cell was fitted out with luxury items including a blender, Birko jug, sandwich press and frypan.

He also demanded that if he was transferred to Port Phillip Prison he would be given 14 packets of sardines, a daily garden salad for lunch, a dinner plate containing two potatoes, two tomatoes, one onion and two bananas each evening.

Gregory John Brazel killed three people in the ’80s and ’90s.

Brazel also wanted to the state to ensure he received only cotton and wool clothing, had continued access to his in-cell computer and was awarded $22K in damages.

The details of his demands were outlined in a Court of Appeal case launched by Brazel who alleged the deed he signed did not reflect the agreed settlement terms.

The triple-murderer’s biggest concern related to access to a personal frypan.

A week after signing the deed, Brazel was told by a general manager at Barwon Prison that he wouldn’t get an in-cell frypan, further alleging the prison boss “interfered with his rights and his ability to obtain independent legal advice” prior to signing the deed.

The jailbird claimed discussions with his lawyer were time limited and that he would not have endorsed the deed had he known its final terms.

Brazel’s hopes of an appeal were thrown out in late December by Justice Stephen Kaye.

“It is quite apparent that, in the course of the negotiations, (Brazel) was sufficiently capable of advocating for his interests, and of protecting those interests,” Justice Kaye said.

“The evidence that was before the trial judge does not demonstrate that the conduct of the (state) in some way prevented or precluded him from seeking legal advice when he considered it necessary to do so.”

Brazel is widely known as one of the biggest pests in Victoria’s prison system.

He has launched multiple lawsuits against the state over the course of his incarceration.

His aptitude for violence has also continued behind bars.

Brazel has bashed staff, once taking a guard hostage, threatened to blow up a jail, set fire to his cell and even stabbed fellow jailhouse heavyweight Mark “Chopper” Read.

Originally an army man, his military career ended with a dishonourable discharge after he took five soldiers hostage at gunpoint during a medical exercise which turned into a siege in Healesville in the early 70s.

Brazel became eligible for parole in 2020 but remains locked up.
