I'll leave all the information in the description below and let's go ahead and get into today's case so the murders grandmothers began on March 1, 1989. The 82-year-old widow, Gwendolyn Mitchell Hill, lived alone in a small apartment on Military Road. which is like the main street of Mossman and Mossman is like a fairly affluent suburb in Sydney.

Around mid-afternoon she walked from her apartment to the local shops and left the shops to walk back home around 4 pm just as she arrived. at the front door of her apartment she was attacked a couple of boys were visiting a family in the apartment block where gwendolyn lived and when they came out they discovered her body in a pool of blood she was barely alive and she was visibly shaking and I just can't imagine what How traumatic it would be for everyone involved, including those children, because they knew Gwendolyn as a sweet old lady who every time she saw her gave them turnips and cookies and now they have discovered her lying in a pool of her own blood, the children immediately ran away.

They returned to the apartment where they had been visiting family and told the two women that Gwendolyn had fallen outside. The two women immediately ran to go help her, but Gwendolyn was so seriously injured that disoriented she had no idea what was happening and tried to fight them thinking that her attacker had returned to finish the job. They called the police and when they arrived They found that her purse was open near her body and a significant amount of cash was there. They also found that her underwear and pantyhose had been removed, but there was no evidence of sexual assault.

She was immediately rushed to the hospital, but unfortunately she died that same night. After her death, Dr. Johan performed a post-mortem examination. defleux and it was immediately apparent to him that gwendolyn had not fallen simply from the flu, he found a laceration on the back of the skull and also a midline fracture and this is very unusual for a fall because if you fall backwards like just instinctively The human reflex is to turn, see where you're falling, try to, you know, break your fall, so basically, for her to have the injuries that she had, she would have just had to just fall backwards, she didn't try to turn around. she had no human reflexes at all, that's why dr.

Defleu believed that she had been hit on the back of the head, unfortunately for the police, it was a very difficult crime to investigate because there were no witnesses, no one had seen anything, no one had heard anything, no one. had seen anyone suspicious in the area even though gwendolyn lived on a busy main street and right across from an active construction site no one could provide the police with anything of value and furthermore the people who lived on the block gwendolyn's apartment was actually washed The crime scene fell thinking she had just fallen and they were doing something good, so there was no forensic evidence for the police.

Two months later, the murderer attacked again on May 9, 1989, Lady Winifred Ashton, who was the artist's widow. Sir William Ashton left the Mossman RSL club after having lunch and playing bingo. He stopped at the shops on his way home to Raglan Street when he entered the hallway of her apartment. She was repeatedly attacked with a hammer thrown to the ground and dragged towards the container. Police found her lying in the container. She had a red trench coat on her underwear and they had taken off her pantyhose and actually used them to strangle her, leaving a three-inch ligature mark on her neck.

She also had bruises on her neck. her nose, her temples, her neck and both of her eyelids, there was an open wound on her cheek and her cane and her shoes had been carefully placed at the foot of her body. She was missing her purse, but she still had her diamond ring, so the police had just arrived. as a little confused about the murders and the motive behind the murders, if it was a robbery after the murder of lady ashton, the media got hold of this case and started reporting on it and reporting on the similarities between the murder of lady ashton and the murder of gwendolyn mitchell hill and Police immediately launched a massive search covering more than 400 square kilometers and searching more than 2,000 homes in Mossman.

Some witnesses claimed to have seen a suspicious looking guy in the area and he was described as a drug addict and unkempt. disordered and with bad teeth, they called the forensic psychiatrist Dr. rod milton to form a psychological profile of the

killer

and said that people who committed crimes of this level are usually young, probably lived locally, possibly had a military background and probably had some peculiar relationship with an important woman in his life, police also theorized that the shooter was young due to the time of day the attacks occurred and also the proximity of these murders to high schools, so the police were definitely working closely with those high schools about a month after Lady's murder Ashton. murder, a neighbor checked her mailbox and discovered that her purse had been placed there and that one hundred dollars in cash was missing.

The police discovered that the wallet had been found by a passer-by in Ashton Park, whose little note in the margin actually had her husband's name on it, but the police did a thorough search of that park anyway and found nothing. Oh, and something I didn't mention is that again people washed the crime scene thinking it had just fallen, so once again there is no forensic evidence for the police due to lack of forensic evidence. the fact that none of these women had been sexually assaulted even though their pantyhose and underwear had been removed and the fact that their purses had been stolen and money taken from them, the police believed that the motive for these murders It was greed or the gummy five.

Months later, on October 18, 1989, 86-year-old Doris Cox was walking along a spit road in Mossmen toward her retirement village when she reached the secluded staircase in front of her home, was grabbed from behind and had her head slammed against a brick wall. and she fell to the ground the victim walked down this staircase here she walked towards the path without realizing that she was being followed by the murderer she reached a point here where they grabbed her from behind the murderer grabbed her by the hair and slammed her head against the brick wall here when they found her they rushed her to the hospital and she actually survived the neighbors however she washed the crime scene once again thinking she had just fallen and they were doing a good thing and helping to clean it up.

Once again, she erased any forensic evidence from the scene and, to be fair, it wasn't until the next day that doctors suspected it wasn't a simple fall and called the police. Sergeant Dennis O'Toole was one of the lead investigators. the previous two cases, so when he got the call he ran to the hospital thinking hard, finally an eyewitness after all this time with no forensic evidence, people washing crime scenes, no witnesses, we finally have an eyewitness who can identify this guy and we can stop him. him before he hurts anyone else, unfortunately, although Doris Cox was suffering from dementia, so she couldn't help the police, she actually had no idea what had happened to her and how she ended up in the hospital despite her efforts. efforts, of course, the police really weren't understanding. anywhere with the investigation because they had nothing to exploit, so they decided to appeal to the public and from these public appeals they made some people come forward.

Some witnesses had seen a young man of about fifteen years old riding a skateboard outside the retirement village. where doris cox was attacked around the time she was attacked the witnesses helped the police publish a sketch and this sketch was published in the media and for the next few weeks the police tried to locate this guy with no luck on November 2nd 78 One-year-old Dorothy Binky was walking home from shopping on a quiet side street just off Longville Road in Lane Cove when she was approached by a man who seemed super polite and friendly and offered to take her groceries home when they returned. to his apartment. and he brought her shopping, she offered him to stay and have a cup of tea, but the man refused a few minutes later, she was walking back down the side street towards Longville Road when she passed Margaret Pound, an 85-year-old widow who was walking home at the time turned around and followed her down the quiet back street and brutally attacked her from behind he took off her underwear and pantyhose and also placed his cane and shoes next to her body there were no witnesses anyone saw this happen no one heard anything and Margaret was left lying on the back street in a puddle of her own blood until schoolgirl Java Wilson discovered that Java was on her way home when she saw Margaret and originally thought Margaret was a bunch of rags, but once he got closer he realized it was a woman lying in a pool of her own blood and immediately ran upstairs to her apartment to tell her mother that her mother told her that the woman was barely breathing and that He went to call an ambulance and Margaret was pronounced dead. in the ambulance and once again well-meaning neighbors who thought she had just fallen, hosed down the crime scene removing any forensic evidence.

A postmodern examination was performed and it was discovered that her death was due to massive head injuries, however, they could not say. exactly what type of weapon would have caused these injuries, which is why the police did not have the murder weapon. He had no idea what murder weapon could have been used to cause these injuries. There was no forensic evidence, no witnesses, no suspects except this skateboarding teenager and they apparently had no idea who. it was and despite all this there was enormous pressure on them to solve this case from the police department the media from the public before the killer struck again the next day the media was in a frenzy over this case and that's when they dubbed The Killer the Granny Killer, the police set up an operations room in Lane Cove and worked around the clock, without sleep, trying to solve the investigation they had been working on for almost two days. followed when the next murder occurred on the afternoon of November 3.

Olive Cleveland, 81, was sitting on a bench outside Wesley Gardens Retirement Village in Bellrose just enjoying the ocean views when a man walked up and sat with her and tried to have a conversation with her, when Olive She felt uncomfortable, she got up and walked towards the main building of the retirement village and the man came up behind her and smashed her skull with a blunt weapon, then lifted her dress, took off her pantyhose and used them to strangle her. and strangled her so hard that part of the material of the pantyhose became embedded in her neck, the man then checks her bag, takes60 dollars and places her purse, shoes and cane carefully next to her body.

When staff found his body, they placed it in a small internal morgue and once again believed that he had simply fallen and washed away the crime scene before the police could be notified. It's honestly the most frustrating case and the police were of course devastated when they discovered another crime scene had been washed up. confusing because these murders were all over the news, all over the media, people knew about them, people were scared, then they found another old lady and they just thought, yeah, definitely not, the

granny

killer that's all over the news. , no, she definitely just fell, she definitely was.

She wasn't murdered even though she literally had pantyhose embedded in her neck, it was definitely just a fall, it's nothing suspicious, let's wash the crime scene again and not tell the police, I just don't understand it now, at this point the Dr. rod milton sees a pattern. emerging so I'm going to read you a quote from what the use of pantyhose said seemed to me to unite his need to sexually humiliate the victim with his need to express violence because again the violence used was excessive and seemed to say much more about the offender than He was simply looking to kill people, he seemed to say that there was this peculiar mix of sexuality and the need to humiliate.

Generally the people who need us in our community are those whose training is mandatory. that they are ordained and that means they have some kind of military training and of course the victims, as we all know, were older people, which suggests something about the offender's relationship with the women in his own life. Now, as I mentioned, people at this point were scared and when the police went door to door inspecting the area. People asked them: How do I know you're not dressed as a police officer? How do I know you know you're not pretending to be a police officer the next day?

On 4 November the North Coast Murder Task Force was officially established and Inspector Mike Hagan was put in charge. There were 70 staff on the task force including homicide investigators, district detectives, intelligence officers, analysis, computer experts and forensic examiners, they also get John Laws who is like a popular Australian radio host and in It's actually the announcer, if you remember my video about the Anita Cobby case, it's the same radio host who managed to obtain a copy of the autopsy report that had been completely confidential and read it live on the radio because he believed that the People needed to hear him, so the police asked him to make this appeal.

Now I'll put a little clip. Did you see Lady Ashton that afternoon? Do you remember the lady in the red night with raincoats and a cane? see her being followed to date four defenseless elderly women have been brutally murdered and following this appeal the state government offered a reward of 200,000 for any information leading to the murderer or murderers of the four murdered women that some members of the group were working on. work Up to 20 hours a day at this point, police held community meetings to educate senior citizens about personal safety. Undercover offices posing as gardeners and workers in retirement villages and due to media coverage the police received a large number of calls with tips they checked each one. but nothing led to anything.

The next day, a jogger finds Mrs. Pad's stolen purse near a drain here at Lane Cove Golf Course, where a week earlier it had been dumped by Grandma's killer and then, on November 23, by the killer. He attacked again. Muriel Faulconer, widowed for one year, had been living alone in her large house on Marston Street in Mossman for the past 39 years. Her neighbor Maggie Hughes had heard about the granny killer and was constantly trying to take care of Muriel. She had expressed her concerns, especially considering that Muriel didn't lock the back door at night and Maggie was like, Dude, close the back door, but Muriel was an independent woman and said if someone broke in she just wanted money and I would give it to them, So on November 23, Muriel went for a walk through the local shops, she arrived home around 5pm, and when she opened the front door and walked in, a man came up behind her and covered her mouth. with his hand and repeatedly crushed her on the head and neck with a hammer.

She fell to the ground, the attacker began to remove her pantyhose and as she did so, Muriel regained consciousness and began screaming for help, so the attacker repeatedly smashed her with the hammer until she finally passed out. He then removed her underwear and pantyhose and used them to strangle her, then he searched her purse and the rest of her house and stole 100 of her cash. The next day, Muriel's neighbors noticed that she had not picked up her Meals on Wheels lunch, it was just sitting on the front door, so her neighbor Maggie decided to go and see what was going on to see if she was okay and used A spare key to get into her house Upon entering, Maggie noticed that there was a full container of ice cream on the floor and her purse was on the table with the contents spilled.

He then noticed Muriel's body lying face down on the floor with blood pooling around her and Maggie was actually a trained nurse so he knew from the smell that she hadn't died recently and then he noticed that her shoes were placed neatly next to her. her body and her dress. They had picked her up and her pantyhose were still around her neck and immediately Maggie thought about Grandma's killer so obviously they called the police and because Maggie knew about Grandma's killer because she knew Muriel didn't just fall. , the police finally had their first crime. scene and even better, they actually had some forensic evidence because the killer had actually stepped in Muriel's blood and left bloody footprints all over the house.

The bloody footprints also suggested that the shoes the killer was wearing were typically worn by older people, not younger people like them. The police had thought all this time that they were looking for the detectives, obviously they didn't want the killer to find out that they had this forensic evidence because they didn't want her to get rid of the shoes, so they told Maggie not to tell the media that they didn't know. Don't tell the media that they didn't reveal this information to anyone and in fact they also tried to get rid of the killer. There was like a construction site next door, so they went to the construction site next door and took a bunch of plaster casts of footprints there and spread it to the media saying that they had found some muddy shoe prints next door, like he's been misled into thinking he got away with it and wouldn't want to try to get rid of the guns or the shoes. because they obviously needed that to link him to the crime, but a few days later, despite having an intact crime scene, the police weren't really getting anything, so sergeant paul tucksvid goes to question maggie again to see if there's anything that They missed their initial interview or if she had seen something sketchy the day Muriel was murdered and that's when she tells them that she had seen a burly, middle-aged, gray-haired man wearing a silver suit in the area, so tucksword returns to the task force and they succeed. the computer expert to search the database and look for crime reports involving gray haired men in the last six months on the lower north coast and bob is your uncle, they find all these reports about a gray haired man who had assaulted They were stolen by women who had been pushed and one of the reports was about an 85 year old woman named Margaret Todd Hunter who was walking down the street when a man walked past her, turned around and hit her in the back of the street. head and then, while he was down.

On the floor he grabbed her purse and ran away from her. Margaret survived. They had to receive eight stitches as a result of the attack and at the inquest she had moved to Queensland so the police flew out to question her and she was able to give them a very good description of the sky, she said he was about 50 years old, five seven, Gray hair, he was well-groomed, he had broad shoulders, a thick chest, a large stomach, and he was wearing a white business shirt and cream-colored pants. Through his description, they were able to draw up a sketch of the sky.

Another of the reports that was of interest to the police was that of 82-year-old Eufemia Khani, on August 25, 1989, while returning to her home in the North Haven retirement village, she was punched in the chest and beaten. on the ground her attacker was a gray-haired man and he took her bag and drove away in a blue car as a result of the attack she had severe bruising to her ribs, chest and the back of her head, police were also able to provide with a detailed description of her attacker and matching that of Margaret with another report found that on June 24, 1989 an elderly patient staying at the Caroline Chisholm Nursing Home in Lane Cove reported that a gray-haired man had raised his hand . her dress while she was lying on her bed and fondling her butt, this man then went to a neighboring room and slid his hand up the front of another patient's nightgown and fondled her breasts despite these reports, the police really had trouble finding identify this gray-haired man.

Christmas 1989 comes and goes and the government increases the reward from 200,000 to 250,000 and then on January 11, 1990, an elderly Greenwich hospital patient named Daisy Roberts is assaulted. Daisy was in the hospital suffering from advanced cancer when a Gray-boss claiming to be a doctor entered her room, put his hands under her nightgown and grabbed her breasts, claiming that she was losing body heat after the assault. Daisy rang the bell next to her bed and Sister Pauline Davis went to check what was going on and as she was walking to the living room she found this gray haired man and she asked him who the hell are you, what the hell are you doing here and he immediately ran away from her. the scene, Sister Davis, although absolute legend haunted him. and managed to get his car registration while he was on the run, she contacts the police and they send two officers to question those who are working there about what had happened and these two offices are not from the grandmother killer task force, this is completely unrelated investigation nothing to do with the granny killer at this time they have not been correlated so the two uniformed police officers who were brought in were able to determine that the man who assaulted Daisy was a local 4 and 20 cake seller named John Wayne Globeber.

The next day, the police go to question Glover and he basically says, "Look, I'm not going to say anything without my lawyer present, but he agreed to go meet with the police and his lawyer the next day, January 13. The "The next day comes." and he doesn't show up for his interview, which is supposed to be at 5:00 p.m. m., so they wait about an hour and then at 6:00 p.m. m. They call his house phone, his gay wife answers and tells them that she has actually tried to commit suicide. Due to the outlandish allegations the police were accusing him of and he was in the Royal Northshire Hospital at the time, this still has no relation to the granny murders so I don't even think the task force knows about this assault in particular, so We're treating this obviously as an unrelated assault, so two officers who are obviously not on the task force head to the hospital and that's where a doctor hands them his suicide note and this suicide note says things like no more grannies and gay don.

I didn't try to understand that Essie started this and that Essie is Glover's wife's mother, so hello red flag anyway, due to Glover's mental state at the time, the officers were not allowed to question him and returned to the day next to question him and he said he wasn't going to say anything based on the legal advice he had received. However, he admitted to being at the Greenwich hospital, so the officers said, "Hey, you know, can we take a Polaroid picture of you so we can go and show it around the world?" ward and you know, he tries to identify who was wandering around the hospital that day and he actually allowed them to take the polaroid.

Officers took this polaroid to the hospital where Daisy Roberts and Sister Davis confirm that the man in the Polaroid was John Glover. is the man who unfortunately assaulted Daisy through the polaroid and the suicide note and was then filed away when the investigating detective on the case must complete a two week training course and after a few weeks the officer who took the polaroid was finally released. realize this. it could be related to the grandmothers murders and she goes and gives it, suicide note and all, to the North Shore Murder Task Force. Immediately the members of the working group see the similarities between the polaroid photo of John Glover and the sketches they have.

It has been written by the other victims of the murdererfrom grandmothers and they also received the suicide note at that time and they find out that Glover is impotent and you know, the detectives speculate why the victims were found in such sexually degrading poses, so immediately the police said, yes. Damn, this is the guy, John Glover is now their prime suspect, they put him under 24 hour surveillance, but he quickly became suspicious of this, like he started driving around the block two or three times and taking the wrong turn. on one-way roads. to see if anyone was following him, so the police had to put a tracking device on his car so the detective watching him could stay behind and not be as suspicious, so let me quickly tell you a little bit about John Wayne Glover.

She was born on November 26, 1932 in Wolverhampton, England, and growing up had a very problematic relationship with women, particularly the older women in her life and especially her mother Frieda, who had several husbands and many boyfriends. He began committing minor crimes from the age of 15. and left school early to join the British Army, however he was expelled from the army when they found out about his entire past such as criminal convictions, in 1957 he emigrated to Australia living in Melbourne and while there the police discovered in a check of He has been convicted of two counts of indecently assaulting women, two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and five counts of theft between 1957 and 1965.

In 1968 he met his wife and moved with her to Sydney, where They lived in a house in Mosman, where it was actually owned by gay Essie and Jack's parents and Essie and John didn't get on well. Essie thought Jon was punching way above his weight and she just didn't like him enough, you know. , I can see that she had some good reasons, so when gay and john moved into essie's house, the feelings between them, like the hostility between them, just intensified. John Glover's mother followed him to Australia in 1976, however, she died of breast cancer in 1989. Gay's mother, Essie, also passed away before the grandmother's murder began.

So back to the case, the police are watching him and tracking him, but he doesn't really know it at the moment, although at one point he's a little suspicious, he doesn't know he's being tracked and while the police are tracking him, we're obviously investigating other things as well. clues that they are investigating it separately from surveillance and they go to different nursing homes, questioning them and seeing if they have had indecent assaults recently and then a detective goes to the James Milson nursing home in Kira Billy and asked the secretary if they had seen a man.

Glover's description fits well and they don't say his name or anything like that, but then the secretary says, "Oh, this person works in four and 20 pies?" and his name is John Glover and the detective says "Oh, what the hell, yeah, good for." I don't have to rely on physical identification, obviously they know this guy, he must have committed an assault here, but then the secretary says he's my husband and it turns out she was John Glover's wife, gay, and immediately the police say, Oh. as I hope she doesn't go and tell her husband what's going on, the fact that they're investigating him and investigating any assaults he may have committed and you know his fears were rap, because she went and told him right away that She believes. he hasn't done anything wrong, she thinks the police have got the wrong person, they're trying to blame him for all this, so she also goes and hires a lawyer named don wakeling, so four days after this happens, On March 19, 1990, surveillance has already been going on for six weeks.

At that moment Glover calls his work and tells them that he is not coming that day and then he goes to a bottle store and buys a bottle of whiskey and then goes to a house. at a beautiful point and he goes up, knocks on the door of this house and is led by a woman who obviously knows him, the police have been following him and they take positions around the house and as the day goes by, the hours go by, he still it's in the house. but there has been no movement in this house and the police are obviously starting to get a little suspicious.

They discover that the house is owned by Joan Sinclair, a sixty-year-old divorcee, who appears to be a close companion of Glovers. That afternoon, two little children go. They get to the front door and they knock on the door and they wait a while and no one answers the door, so they just go to the next door and obviously the police say, "Okay, something strange is going on here." Jones Sinclair had a couple of dogs and they were barking. pretty loud so the police used that as an excuse to go to the house, they pretended they were going there for an excessive noise complaint and went to the front of the door, knocked on the door, no answer, went around to the back from the door which I believe was open because they looked inside and found a hammer and as soon as they found that hammer and saw a body sitting in the hallway, they immediately left the house and called the task force detectives like the leaders of the Sgt. workgroup.

Detective denis o'toole was one of the task force officers who arrived and here, along with three of the detectives, paul maga murray burns and paul jacob, they enter the house through the back door with guns drawn, They see the hammer and they see the body in the hallway and the body was that of a woman and she was clearly already deceased. They continued searching for Glover in the house and found him in the bathroom. The bathtub was full and in the bathroom they found some pills mixed with whiskey. which he had obviously taken to try to end his own life, they also found a broken glass that he had used to try to cut his wrists.

Glover had vomited in the bathroom, so the bathroom water was full of his vomit. He probably vomited from the pills and whiskey. that he had taken and that saved his life. He was barely breathing when they found him, they called the emergency services and rushed him to the hospital. Investigators discovered that Glover had arranged to take Jones Sinclair, his 18-month-old companion, to lunch. Instead, he murdered. She similarly to the rest of the victims of the granny killer suffered severe head injuries caused by a blunt object and had been strangled with her pantyhose and near her body was a hammer and it was discovered that this hammer had been used in all the previous grandmother murders and the reason investigators couldn't determine that the murder weapon in the rest of the murders was a hammer was because she probably used it as covered with some kind of towel or something to soften the blow. which drastically changed the blood spatter patterns as well as the actual injuries at the hospital where Glover was being treated for his overdose.

Detectives Murray Burns and Paul Jacobs were on duty. Glover regained consciousness in the early morning hours as detectives were talking. For him to start talking about the similarities between his mother-in-law and the granny killer victims, it wasn't like an outright confession or anything, but it was enough for the detectives to call Dennis O'Toole and Paul Maga, who immediately They rushed to the hospital and once they arrived, Glover admitted everything, the confession was recorded in a police notebook and Glover signed every page. The police then call Glover's gay wife and tell her what happened, that charges will probably be filed and she immediately calls lawyer Don Wakeling, who rushes to the hospital.

When Wakeling arrived, Glover made it clear that he wanted to do the trick. statement and he wanted to get all this off his chest and while he was making his confession, like one of the officers said he said it in such a natural way like he was talking about the murders like he was making a cup of tea without confessing to murder. literally brutalizing older women, he told them that after committing these crimes he would take the money he stole from the victims and he would go to the rsl club and buy himself drinks, buy drinks for his friends, buy lunch, put some of the money in the slot machines and I would even buy drinks like for older women, please go and look at Glover's. house obviously and while there, they actually find shoes that match the footprints left at the scene of the murder of 93-year-old Muriel Falconer later that night.

Glover is officially charged with the murder of Joan Sinclair and remains in custody, task force detectives. He returned to the crime scenes with Glover and there freely describes in gory detail how he stalked and killed his victims on March 28, 1990. John Wayne Glover, 57, appears under heavy guard at Glebe Coroner's Court, where he is being held. He is formally accused of six murders and a series of assaults, despite his early confession, he pleads innocent on the grounds of diminished responsibility and the problem with this case is that many people believe that to go around hitting old ladies on the head with Hammers, there obviously has to be something wrong with your head.

The prosecutor in this case was Wendy Robertson QC and the trial began on 18 November 1991. The defense presented two psychiatric experts who gave evidence that they believe Glover had accumulated hostility and aggression since his childhood against his mother and later against his mother-in-law. , who was said to have provoked him and then, when his mother-in-law Essie died, he had to take out his aggression on someone else, prosecutor Wendy. Robinson qc, however, argued that Glover was well aware of his actions, that when he killed he was planning what he would do with the victim's money, he took the time to clean the hammer with hydrochloric acid and Glover would carry the hammer in his car. so that He would be there when he found a victim after each crime.

He would go home and burn the gardening gloves he wore during the attack. He would then wash the hammer with hydrochloric acid and then take it to his back shed and wash it. again with water as I mentioned earlier he was impotent and had no interest in sex so using pantyhose to tie up and strangle his victims was probably due to the assault and to make sure they were dead and also to throw the police off and make them think. that it was a sexually motivated crime it may also have been used to sexually humiliate his victims because he was unable to have sexual relations at the end of his sentence, the jury deliberated for a few hours before returning and finding him guilty of all the charges against him . he was charged and sentenced to life in prison never to be released and this is what the presiding judge said when handing down the sentence he is able to choose when to attack and when to stay his hand he is cunning and able to cover his tracks it is clear that He has chosen these moments carefully, although the crimes have been opportunistic, he has not entered places where the risks were overwhelming.

The period since January 1989 has been one of intense and serious crimes involving extreme violence inflicted on elderly women accompanied by theft or robbery from any point of view, the prisoner has proven to be an extremely dangerous person and that opinion was reflected in the opinions of the psychiatrist who testified at his trial. I have no choice but to impose the maximum sentence available, which means the prisoner will be required to spend the remainder of his natural life in prison. it is not appropriate to express any conditional release date in light of those life sentences. this is not a case in which the prisoner can ever be released pursuant to the order of this court.

He was never released despite his sentence, detectives do believe he may have been involved in a series of other crimes and seven other murders, four in Victoria and three in New South Wales, Detective Dennis O'Toole continued to visit Glover in prison for the next few years. to try to interrogate him about these unsolved murders, you know, try to get him to confess to O'toole's last visit to Glover. Glover actually gave him a sketch he had drawn and O'toole originally rejected it, but Glover insisted he take it. Glover asked him if he was aware of the pine trees in front of the Medlo bathroom and, looking at the pine trees in the sketch, O'toole saw what appeared to be the number nine.

Nobody has any idea what it means. means anything, I don't know if it could be his way of admitting that he was involved in nine other murders or that there were nine actual murders in total, although I guess we'll never know because after O'Toole's visit where Glover gave him the sketch . Glover actually ended his own life by hanging himself in his cell on September 9, 2005. But that's all the information I have in this video. I would love to talk to you about his thoughts. In the comments below, what do you guys think of the number nine in the sketch?

Do you think it means he was responsible for nine murders in total or did it mean something? Did it mean that he might be responsible for nine murders in addition? of which he was convicted, I would love to hear his opinion, but that is the end of this video. I really hope you enjoy the rest of the day and I hope to see you next time, bye guys.
