Summary

Eric Cooke was an Australian serial who operated in the area of Perth, Western Australia, predominately in the early 1960s. This was a man that committed his crimes because in his words he wanted to hurt people. Cooke has the distinction of being the last man hanged in Western Australia.

Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss the life and crimes of Eric Cooke. An abusive alcoholic father and head injuries mix to form a bad childhood. But is that what turned Eric Cooke into a killer? What was it that fueled this man's need to hurt, maim and kill? This case is interesting on a number of levels but particularly for the fact that two innocent men served lengthy sentences for Cooke's murders.
