Claremont killer sentenced to life imprisonment

Описание: Bradley Robert Edwards has been sentenced to life imprisonment for the murders of Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon.

Edwards will serve a minimum of 40 years in prison, meaning he won’t be eligible for parole until he is 88 years old.

Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon disappeared after separate nights out in the Perth suburb of Claremont between January 1996 and March 1997.

The bodies of Ms Rimmer and Ms Glennon were later discovered in Perth bushland.

Justice Hall told the convicted killer, "by your actions, you not only robbed them of their lives, but their hopes, their dreams and the dreams of others for them."

When the sentence was given the packed courtroom applauded.

The Telstra technician was also charged over the death of Sarah Spears, the 18-year-old who disappeared from Claremont in the 1990’s but he was found not guilty of her murder.

WA police are still investigating her case.

Sky News Australia will examine the longest-running and most-expensive criminal investigation in Australian history in a gripping new investigative documentary, ‘Catching the Claremont Killer: The Untold Story’.
