John Lynch (serial killer)
John Lynch (circa. 1813 – 22 April 1842) was an Irish-born Australian serial killer convicted of murder in the Berrima, New South Wales district. Over a six-year period in 1835 to 1841, Lynch was believed to have killed ten people. He was known as the Berrima Axe Murderer. Lynch was Australia's first serial killer. He believed that God was protecting him while he robbed and murdered.
== Background ==
John Lynch was born in Cavan, Ireland in 1813. He was convicted of false pretences there in 1830. At 19 he was sentenced to transportation for life to Australia. His voyage to New South Wales was on the ship ''Dunvegan Castle II'', sailing from Dublin on 1 July 1832.
On 16 October 1832, the ship docked at Port Jackson and Lynch was billeted out to Berrima, a village founded in 1832 and located in the southern highlands of New South Wales, roughly 130 kilometres from Sydney.
Lynch was a small but solidly-built man at just 5’3” in height. He worked as a convict labourer on various farms before joining a gang of bushrangers. An 1835 incident saw him and two others convicted of the killing of Tom Smythe after Smythe had given evidence against Lynch’s gang. Despite his admission to the crime, while the other two were hanged, the jury did not believe him and set him free.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Australia's Serial Killers )〕
