There were two more murders, 15 miles away in the silver-racement.

We have a weird...

...described by one investigator as reminiscent of a weird religion.

Morning.

Cuff of murder.

On February 21, 1841, a man was arrested for a single murder.

He was convicted rather quickly and was sentenced to death for his crimes.

Then, as the trial ended, more information about the mysterious man came to light.

Because this man, a man named John Lynch, was a serial killer who'd been roaming the Burima area of Australia for years, committing brutal murders.

And, though the word didn't exist yet, Lynch would later be known as Australia's worst

serial killer. So, if you like your coffee hot, but your bones chilled, sit back and

search your day with a morning cup of murder.

John Lynch was born in 1813 in Kavan, Ireland.

When he was 17 years old, he was convicted of false pretenses,

and, two years later, sentenced to penal transportation.

His new location, Australia. On July 1st, 1832, he boarded a ship and headed to New South Wales. From there, he was sent to the newly founded village of Burima, located near Sydney. At first, he seemed to keep his nose clean and worked as a convict laborer on various farms.

Then at some point, he joined a gang of bush rangers, and things started to spiral out of control.

On February 19, 1841, a man named Hugh Tinney was on his way to Sydney when he saw a dingo rummaging around a pile of brush.

Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the body of a man whose head had been bashed in with a heavy, blunt object.

He was able to identify the man with some of his belongings as Kern's lay dream.

Curns had last been seen having dinner with a farmer named Dunleavy,

just two nights before, not far from where his body now lay.
