William MacDonald (serial killer)
William MacDonald, (17 June 1924 – 12 May 2015), born as Allan Ginsberg known as "the (Sydney) Mutilator", was classed as Australia's first true serial killer. MacDonald was born in Liverpool, England in 1924. Between 1961 and 1962 MacDonald terrorised Sydney with a string of gruesome murders before being apprehended while working as a porter at Melbourne's Spencer Street railway station on 13 May 1963.〔(Mutilation Killings Result of Strange Impulses, Court Told ) ''The Age'', 9 August 1963, p. 6〕 His modus operandi was to select his male victims at random (mostly derelicts), lure them into a dark place, violently stab them dozens of times about the head and neck with a long bladed knife, and finally sever their penis and testicles.
==Early life==
In 1943 at the age of 19, MacDonald was enlisted in the army and transferred to the Lancashire Fusiliers. One night, MacDonald was raped in an air-raid shelter by one of his corporals. At first he felt traumatised, but later came to the conclusion that he enjoyed the experience which, however, preyed on his mind for the rest of his life. Discharged from the army in 1947, he was diagnosed as a schizophrenic and committed for several months to a mental asylum where he was daily treated with electroconvulsive therapy.〔
MacDonald emigrated from England to Canada in 1949 and then to Australia in 1955. Shortly after his arrival, he was arrested and charged for touching a detective's penis in a public toilet. For this he was placed on a two-year good behaviour bond. In 1961, MacDonald moved to Sydney. He found accommodation in East Sydney, where he became well known in the parks and public toilets that were, due to the oppression of "mainstream" society, surreptitious meeting places for homosexual men.〔 (reissued 2001)〕
