Claremont serial killerâs shocking move A surprising development in the Claremont serial killer case could mean the end of the legal process for now. Crime by Angie Raphael 3rd Feb 2021 7:57 PM Claremont serial killer and brutal rapist Bradley Robert Edwards has failed to lodge an appeal by the court deadline, seemingly bringing an end to the long-running case. Edwards, 52, was sentenced in December last year to life behind bars with a minimum of 40 years to be served after he was found guilty of murdering childcare worker Jane Rimmer, 23, in 1996 and solicitor Ciara Glennon, 27, in 1997. But he was acquitted of murdering 18-year-old secretary Sarah Spiers, who vanished in 1996 and has never been found.
