On 22 April 1842, an Irish-born axe murderer and serial killer, John Lynch, was hanged at Berrima Gaol.
I wonder if Jimmy Governor knew about him and was trying to outdo him?
Lynch was believed at the time to have murdered nine adults and children, but he confessed to 10.
He also, like Jimmy Governor, raped a young girl.
His alias was 'Dunleavy'.
