Philip McElwaine (born 5 December 1957) is an Australian boxer and motorcycle club member. He was born in Maitland, New South Wales. He competed at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.[1] He was the Middleweight Gold medalist in the 1978 Commonwealth Games.
In 1984, McElwaine was arrested and charged with seven counts of murder for his part in the Milperra massacre.[2] The charges were later reduced to that of affray after police acted as character witnesses for him, stating that McElwaine, who was a volunteer at the Police and Community Youth Club, was "a monument to the police boys' movement as a whole."[3] McElwaine was the only club member to be acquitted of the manslaughter and murder charges that were brought against them.[2]
