Claremont: The Claremont Serial Killings

“Brace yourself, Bradley,” is what Detective Senior Sergeant Joe Marrapodi said to Bradley Edwards during the final part of his police interview. He was telling Mr Edwards to brace himself, because they had the DNA results back - from a swab he gave to detectives around 12 hours earlier. “The expert scientists have now come back to us to confirm your DNA is a positive match,” Set Snr Sgt Marrapodi said. It was also the first time we’ve see any emotion from Bradley Edwards, when he was told his DNA matched that found on Ciara Glennon, the Karrakatta rape victim, and the kimono found from the Huntingdale attack. Following that, he was shown photos from the room in which the Huntingdale attack happened, the Karrakatta rape victim, and most poignantly - a photo of Ciara Glennon. He was then he appeared to be starkly aware of what he was accused of - rape and murder. These were some of the final pieces of evidence the court heard before it seemed to end, to the surprise of the public, and the podcast team.
