When it comes to serial killers, many countries around the world have had to admit to having some truly evil people in their midst. Countries such as the UK, Russia and the United States have been home to some of the most evil serial murderers ever seen. Another country that has not escaped the curse of the serial killer is Australia, which has been home to some truly evil and heartless men and women who thought nothing of snuffing out innocent lives.
As is the case in other countries, most serial killers in Australia have been men but there have been a variety of evil women who have taken lives too. Take Catherine Birnie for instance – she operated alongside her ‘husband’ David to destroy innocent lives.
Australia’s serial killers have focused their attention on a diverse range of different groups. For example, while John Wayne Glover had a penchant for murdering elderly women, Arnold Sodeman targeted young schoolgirls. And while William MacDonald tended to focus on down and outs, Ivan Milat was eager to wipe out foreign backpackers who were travelling around Australia.
This chilling book looks at some of the most evil serial killers in the history of Australia, detailing the gruesome crimes they committed and looking at how and why they dished out death to their victims. The signature of the serial killers in this book also varies from one killer to another. Peter Dupas had a thing about removing the breasts of his female victims while William MacDonald always attempted to remove the genitals of his male ones and John Wayne Glover would always neatly arrange the shoes and clothes of his elderly victims next to their bodies.
Whatever the MO, signature and target group of the killers in this book, one thing that they all have in common is their readiness to administer terror and death to their unfortunate victims.
