Claremont serial killings: Former Huntingdale home of accused Bradley Robert Edwards searched
Updated
Police have searched a suburban Perth home owned at the time of the Claremont serial killings in the 1990s by the man accused of two of the murders.
Bradley Robert Edwards was charged last month with the abduction and murder of Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon.
A third woman who disappeared in the same period, Sarah Spiers, remains missing.
Items belonging to Ms Rimmer and Ms Glennon have also not been found.
Police on Wednesday taped off a house on Fountain Way in Huntingdale, in Perth's south-eastern suburbs, and are continuing to search the property.
It is understood they have previously searched the house.
Edwards lived at the house for several years before it was sold in April 1997 — just weeks after Ms Glennon became the third woman to disappear from the streets of Claremont in the space of 14 months.
The cases sparked Australia's longest-running and most expensive police investigation.
Ms Rimmer disappeared after a night out with friends in June 1996, and her body was discovered in bushland at Wellard in August that year.
Ms Glennon, 27, disappeared in March 1997 after also spending a night out in Claremont, with her body found in bushland in Eglington the following month.
The body of Ms Spiers, who was last seen after leaving Club Bay View in Claremont in January 1996, has never been found.
Edwards was arrested at his house in Kewdale last month before he was charged with the murders of Ms Rimmer and Ms Glennon, along with attacks on two other women.
He is alleged to have abducting a 17-year-old girl as she walked through a park in 1995 and taken her to a nearby cemetery where he sexually assaulted her.
Edwards is also accused of entering the bedroom of a sleeping 18-year-old girl in 1988 and attacking her before fleeing.
He is facing two counts of deprivation of liberty, two counts of aggravated sexual penetration without consent, one count of breaking and entering and one count of indecent assault.
Edwards is due to reappear in court next week.
