Depraved killer and serial rapist Sean Price is seeking a taxpayer funded appeal.

Sean Price is serving life with a non-parole period of 38 years for the murder of Doncaster school girl Masa Vukotic two years ago

He was also jailed for raping a woman in a bookstore while on the run after the horrific murder.

The Herald Sun reports the serial rapist is already getting legal aid for advice regarding a breach of a court supervision order.

While there’s also a chance taxpayers will bank roll an appeal over the rape conviction if granted by the courts.

Price is due to return to court in June 2017.
