An Australian court has found the man who raped and murdered Irish woman Jill Meagher in 2012 guilty of the rape of three other women.

Adrian-Ernest Bayley has now been found guilty of raping 10 women in total.

In the latest court case, a jury has found Bayley raped a sex worker (18) in 2000 and another sex worker (25) in April 2012, in near identical circumstances.

He also raped a Dutch backpacker in July 2012, two months before he attacked and killed Ms Meagher.

The jury delivered their guilty verdicts at Victoria Court in Melbourne overnight.

Bayley has now been found guilty of raping 10 women, and attempting to rape two more.

He is currently serving a life sentence with a 35 year minimum for the rape and murder of Ms Meagher in September 2012.

Sarah Farnsworth is an ABC News reporter based in Melbourne.

She told Newstalk Breakfast that Bayley was relaxed in Victoria Court when the verdict was read out.
