Charges follow 20-year murder probe

MAN has been charged with two counts of murder in a notorious 20-year-old case that terrified residents of Western Australia and became one of the country’s longest-running investigations.

The development in the so-called “Claremont serial killings” case comes two decades after three women vanished from the wealthy Perth suburb.

The remains of two of the women – Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon – were later found in remote areas while the third, Sarah Spiers, remains missing.

Police yesterday charged 48-year-old Bradley Robert Edwards with murdering Ms Rimmer and Ms Glennon, and with the sexual assault of two other young women.
