CLAREMONT: The Huntingdale Attack
Show notes
On Valentine’s Day in 1988 in Huntingdale, a teenager went to bed alone after spending the day with her boyfriend.
She was woken up by someone lying on top of her. Thinking it was her boyfriend, she said she didn’t feel scared. That was until she touched that person’s face. The person lying on top of her wasn’t her boyfriend, but was an intruder.
That intruder was Bradley Robert Edwards, who pleaded guilty to the attack 30 years later.
Day 10 of the Claremont serial killings trial heard from this victim, as she told of her ordeal, and of the kimono that was left behind after the attack.
That kimono would become crucial in the police investigation, and the prosecution’s case against Bradley Edwards.
The day also heard from the family of the second woman to disappear, Jane Rimmer, and the ordinary day that would turn out to be her last.
Join Natalie Bonjolo, Tim Clarke and Alison Fan as they dissect the day’s events.
