Notorious pedophile Michael Guider, who killed schoolgirl Samantha Knight and sexually abused 13 other children, is back behind bars for allegedly failing to comply with a supervision order.

Guider was jailed for 17 years in 2002 for the 1986 manslaughter of the nine-year-old Bondi schoolgirl.

NSW Attorney-General Mark Speakman in 2019 described Guider as "one of the most despicable individuals to come before our justice system".

Guider was released on a five-year extended supervision order which included internet access restrictions, electronic monitoring, medical monitoring and bans from anywhere children gather including schools, pools and cinemas.

Police on Friday confirmed they arrested the 71-year-old at a house in Sydney's southwest on Thursday morning.

He was charged with two counts of failing to comply with an extended supervision order.

Guider was remanded in custody on Thursday until his next court appearance on October 10.
