Has The Claremont Killer Been Brought To Justice?
Sometime in 2020, when the warm Australian winter is turning to searing summer, Bradley Robert Edwards will discover whether or not he has been found guilty of the homicide of two, perhaps even three, of the Claremont murder victims. These were the young women who, in a spate of assaults in the mid 1990s, lost their lives in sexually motivated attacks.
The quietly spoken, outwardly calm middle aged man, pillar of society and apparently upright citizen has already admitted to a number of offences relating to other young women who were victims of sex attacks, but whether the judge in this case, Justice Steven Hall, finds the former technician guilty of murder as well remains to be seen. Whatever, the peaceful community of Perth knows that the upcoming trial will dominate headlines in the months to come.
