Supporters of Geelong mall murderer Karl Hague have shoved, sworn and abused media after he was sentenced to 26 years behind bars for the stabbing murder of a teenage boy.

Hague himself also lashed out at a female journalist following the verdict.

The tirade continued outside, with a female supporter pulling her pants down in front of cameras while another swore.

Hague, 44, was found guilty of killing Ricky Balcombe at the Market Square shopping centre in 1995.

A Supreme Court jury found Ricky was stabbed as payback for damaging Hague’s car during a gang fight two weeks earlier.

He’s been ordered to serve a 20-year minimum.
