Australian police hunt armed murder suspect The fugitive, Jonathon Andrew Stenberg, 46, is suspected of murdering Edward "Ned" Kelly, a 54-year-old recluse whose headless body was discovered in the kitchen of his ramshackle home in the New South Wales town of Broadwater last Thursday. The head has not been found. Stenberg, a former soldier and experienced bushman, is believed to be hiding in a dense scrubland area in the Northern Territory, more than 2,000 miles away. Though Stenberg was not a local, he reportedly bought a case of beer and drank and played pool with the patrons. "No one knew him, but they had a beer with him and he stayed for a while," said the publican of the Broadwater Hotel, Dave Raymond. Police believe Stenberg remains armed and yesterday evacuated residents around the search zone. "An individual making their way in that bushland is akin to a needle-in-a-haystack operation," said a Northern Territory police commander, Richard Bryson. We've got a person who has a known propensity to violence. The community is reminded Mr Stenberg is considered armed and dangerous and should not be approached under any circumstances." ends
