Jack Newman (10 May 1942 – 18 September 1999), better known by his birth name Rory Jack Thompson, was an Australian CSIRO scientist and murderer.
In September 1983, he was charged for murdering his wife, Maureen Thompson, in their Hobart, Tasmania home and after dismembering her body, he dumped the remains down a toilet. He was not sentenced to serve in prison on the grounds of insanity, but instead, was detained in a hospital attached to the Risdon Prison Complex for an unspecified period of time.[2]
Thompson wrote an autobiography in 1993 providing stories of his early life and the subsequent murder.[3] On 18 September 1999, several months after he attempted an escape, Thompson was found dead in his hospital cell after he hanged himself using a shoelace. His suicide, along with that of five other Risdon Prison inmates, prompted an inquest on the prison's procedures.[2]
