Fatal Gothic. Episode 10, "John Lynch, Australia's First Serial Killer"
Update: 2021-08-27
Description
Australia, 1835. The entire continent was at this time, for all intents and purposes, one giant prison colony. From the late 18th century until 1900, convicts from England, Ireland, and all of Great Britain’s worldwide domain, were routinely shipped off to the mysterious “Land Down Under” to serve out their sentences for crimes ranging from petty theft to murder. A prison break in '35 led to Australia’s first ever case of serial murder. Over the course of less than a year, ten innocent people, and perhaps as many as 5 more, were murdered in cold blood by an escaped convict named John Lynch, who would in time become known throughout Australia as the Berrima Ax Murderer.
