Detectives believe Claremont killer Bradley Edwards visited Ciara Glennon s grave three years after her death and left behind an item of her underwear, sparking a covert police operation, according to a new book released on Wednesday.
The garment was found by one of Ms Glennon’s family members visiting the Karrakatta Cemetery site in late November 2000, 3½ years after the 27-year-old became the third woman to be snatched off the streets of Claremont and murdered.
STALKING CLAREMONT EXTRACT: On a hot summer s Saturday night in February 1995, Lisa (not her real name) an athletic seventeen-year-old, borrowed her older sister s driver s licence for a night out that was to end, as usual, at a nightclub in the suburb of Claremont, close to where she lived. The village looked and felt safe, unlike the central-city nightclub strip of Northbridge, which had a reputation for alcohol- and drug-fuelled violence. This protective ambience, tragically, provided a false sense of security. Because, in the early morning hours, Claremont s dark underbelly was exposed. More than twenty reports had been made to police in the late 1980s and early 1990s of young women in the vicinity of Claremont at night being followed and pounced on or groped indecently, and attempts made to rape them or drag them into cars.
Claremont serial killer and sadistic rapist Bradley Robert Edwards will likely die in prison after a Perth judge sentenced the dangerous predator to life behind bars with a minimum of 40 years to be served. For the families of Edwards victims, this day of justice was more than two decades in the making and there was applause from the packed gallery as the sentence was finally handed down in the WA Supreme Court on Wednesday. It is the longest minimum term ever handed down in WA and Edwards will be 88 before he can apply for parole. But it is not the harshest jail sentence ever delivered in the state.
