Western Australian Premier Mark McGowan says the entire state and country feels for the families of the Claremont murder victims. “They have been through a lot, and we all feel very deeply for them,” he said.
Bradley Robert Edwards was on Thursday found guilty of the murders of Ciara Glennon and Jane Rimmer but was found not-guilty for the murder of Sarah Spiers, whose body was never found. The three Claremont women went missing in 1996 and 1997, with Ms Rimmer’s and Ms Glennon’s bodies found in bushland outside of Perth in the late 1990s. Premier McGowan ensured the police will get whatever they require to find Sarah’s body. Mr Edwards will be sentenced on December 23.
