The father of Australia's Salt Creek kidnapper Roman Heinze has told media his son deserves to be in prison, but denied that he is a monster.
Werner Heinze told Australian TV station Ten he was shocked to discover his son's "nasty" crimes in 2014.
"He has an aggressive, disrespectful and nasty character, but he's no monster," he said.
"I'm shocked he's been convicted. He should pay for it. Jail is where he needs to be."
