Well, here's another garden variety arsehole; convicted of one murder Burns confessed to the hangman he'd killed seven more people.
Why confess to the hangman? Is it an attempt to impress a bloke who's paid to kill people for the government?
Anyway, the seven further victims are based on speculation; although the useless mongrel gave clues he didn't give names (said he was useless) but this is well-considered with much evidence.
Further reading -
Serial killer Frank Butler aka Richard Ashe was a garden variety prick; he's been incorrectly labelled "Australia's First Serial Killer" - nah, plenty of those mongrel bastards came before Frank.
It was Australia's First Serial Killer MANHUNT.
Gutless mongrel; he shot his victims in the back after he'd got them to dig their own graves.
Plenty all over the net about this piece of vile canker.
His victims were
Arthur Preston
Charles Burgess

1786 - Barron Field, who claimed to be the first poet of Australia *ahem* and was for a number of years an actual judge in New South Wales...
