Robert Francis Burns 1840 -1883 serial killer

 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.

Frank Butler aka Richard Ashe The Blue Mountains Murderer 1858 - 1897

 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 

Captain Lee Weller

Arthur Preston

Charles Burgess

Melbourne's Botanic Gardens Shooting Spree Norman List 23 January 1924

 Almost a century ago a young man displayed worrying mental health symptoms - paranoia, believing wireless messages were being sent to his mind to control him, to hurt his family, that people were telling lies about him and his family, that his enemies had a radio system that advertised him everywhere he went...(I'd like to know what Professor Graeme Yorston made of him).

After tramping all over the world, fighting in WW1, Norman List returned to his family home in Richmond, Victoria, where these symptoms were on full display.

This all came out after the horrific shooting spree he orchestrated at the Melbourne Botanic Gardens; in just 4 minutes four people were dead.

Their names were

Frederick McIlwaine
Miriam Podbury
Eugenie Strohhecker
John Moxham

Norman List himself was found dead by suicide at Deep Creek near Pakenham, Victoria.
