Serial killer's horror collection of items included homemade sex toys and murder notes

A serial killer's horror collection of items included homemade sex toys and murder notes found in a garage at his home.

Sick Bradley Robert Edwards was convicted of killing Jane Rimmer, 23, and Ciara Glennon, 27 in Claremont, a suburb of Perth, Australia.

Ms Rimmer and Ms Glennon went missing between January 1996 and March 1997 with their bodies later found in bushland.

Edwards, 51, was found guilty  more than 20 years after the horrifying crimes, but was acquitted of the of the murder of 18-year-old Sarah Spier, whose body was never found.

Horrific evidence in the case was seemed too prejudicial for a jury to hear, but has now been published following Edwards conviction.

It includes details of homemade sex toys found in his garage lair - along with women's underwear with holes cut in and disturbing scenarios to abduct, rape and kill women.

The case also looked at Edwards' twisted history of sexual deviancy in which he stole women's underwear from clothes lines in his younger years.

Police also found disturbing evidence on his computer in the same garage - including access to extreme and violent pornography, and first-person stories about women being abducted and sexually assaulted.

Stories had been titled  “Chloe’s story”, “Sophie’s story” and “Nicola’s story” and bore striking similarity to his actual crimes.

"Chloe’s story" depicted a man abducting a woman, stripping her of her clothes, binding her and sexually assaulting her.

"Nicola’s story", had a male narrator portrayed as “driving around at 2am and abducting a visibly drunk 19-year-old”.

Other evidence police found while analysing material deleted on Edwards’ devices was the 2002 extreme pornography film,  Forced Entry .

Based loosely on the crimes of serial killer Richard Ramirez, California’s 1980s so-called “Night Stalker”, it graphically depicts the rape and murder of women.

The court heard Ms Glennon, a 27-year-old lawyer, disappeared from Claremont in the early hours of 15 March 1997.

She was struck by Edwards with an object that fractured her skull, "momentarily stunning her".

Shocking evidence heard how she tried to fight off her attacker and severely damaged her left thumbnail in doing so, while the tip of her right ring fingernail tore off, with Edwards' DNA.

Edwards then slit her throat causing a 20cm wound before leaving her body facedown in bushland.

Months later 23-year-old Ms Rimmer disappeared from the same part of Claremont and her naked body was found 25 miles south in bushland by a family picking wild flowers.

Edwards, who will be subject to a psychiatric report, will be sentenced on 23 December.
