Ep. 57 - The Walking Corpse Killer

English-born William MacDonald is often referred to as Australia's first true serial killer. Rivaling even Jack The Ripper, the ferocity of MacDonald's crimes earned him the title The Mutilator.

Before his undoing, this English-turned-Australian murderer would take the lives of five men.

Let's Mourn.
