November 26, 1932 - John Wayne Glover
His victims were all elderly women, the youngest sixty years old, the oldest ninety-three — a pattern of predation that earned him the press designation "Granny Killer" and prompted widespread alarm across Sydney's North Shore communities during the fourteen months his crimes went unsolved.
From Wikipedia
John Wayne Glover (26 November 1932 – 9 September 2005) was an English-Australian serial killer convicted of the murders of six elderly women (aged from 60 to 93), over a period of 14 months from 1989 to 1990. The victims included Winifreda, Lady Ashton, widow of the English-Australian impressionist painter Sir Will Ashton, in suburbs located in Sydney's North Shore. Given the advanced age of his victims, after Glover was arrested in 1990, the press nicknamed him The Granny Killer.
Following his arrest in 1990, he admitted to the murders and was sentenced to consecutive terms of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. He died after hanging himself in prison on 9 September 2005.
