No sentence for the Claremont Killer which would have satisfied the public23/12/2020|6min
Investigative Journalist Steve Pennells says the case of Claremont Killer Bradley Edwards has been “embedded into the DNA of Perth”, and no sentence for the killer would have satisfied the public.
Justice Stephen Hall on Wednesday gave Mr Edwards two life sentences for the murders of Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon; Mr Edwards will spend a minimum of 40 years behind bars.
“This is a case that’s gripped WA like no other one,” Mr Pennells told Sky News.
“A sign of that was this morning at court, I understand at 4.30am there were people queuing up – members of the public – and some of them hadn’t even been born when the murders happened.”
Claremont Killer still has ‘control’ over the families of victims23/12/2020|4min
Investigative Journalist Steve Pennells says Claremont Killer Bradley Edwards still – in a way – has control over the families of his victims by holding back from giving any answers.
It comes after Justice Stephen Hall gave Mr Edwards two life sentences for the murders of Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon; he will spend a minimum of 40 years in jail.
“It’s hard because he (Edwards) is a man who didn’t give answers, and he still has that control over the families in a way; by holding back what he knows,” Mr Pennells told Sky News host Chris Smith.
