The Murder of Kylie Maybury, occurred on 6 November 1984 after she was first kidnapped and raped. Maybury was an Australian schoolgirl from Preston, an inner-city suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. The murder occurred on the same date as the 1984 Melbourne Cup Day; and she was nicknamed in the Melbourne tabloid newspaper The Sun News-Pictorial as the Cup Day Girl.
More than 30 years after her death, in June 2016 Victoria Police arrested and charged Gregory Keith Davies with the abduction, rape, and murder of Maybury. Davies later pleaded guilty to the murder and rape of Maybury and in December 2017 he was sentenced to life imprisonment with a non-parole period of 28 years.
