Bedraggled, bearded and with a large tumour below his midriff, notorious paedophile Michael Guider has slowly walked out of Sydney's Long Bay jail after serving a 17-year sentence.

The 68-year-old, who killed schoolgirl Samantha Knight more than 30 years ago, was released on Thursday afternoon after the Supreme Court rejected the NSW government's bid to keep him locked up.
