In 1959, Eric Cooke committed his first murder in the sleepy city of Perth, Australia. And, having gotten away with the crime, it seemed nothing would slow down his bloody rampage.

Welcome to our final episode in Western Australia, for real this time. In Part Two of our discussion of Eric Edgar Cooke, we discuss Cooke’s final crimes, his trial and subsequent execution, and two of the many destroyed lives that Cooke left in his wake – John Button and Darryl Beamish, the two men who went to prison for crimes that Cooke had committed.EPISODE NOTES:Eric Edgar Cooke had unknowingly terrorised the people of Perth for years. People started locking their doors and coming home before dark because of the shootings on Australia Day, the robberies, the brutal stabbing murder of Pnena Berkman, not knowing that the criminal they were afraid of was all the same man.The “power” that overcame Cooke, driving him to hurt people, came again and again, until finally he was captured after the murder of teenaged babysitter Shirley McLeod. Then came months of police trying to unravel crime after crime, trying to understand how one man could be capable of committing so many disparate crimes. From the moment he was captured, Cooke knew there was only one destination for him – the gallows.For John Button and Darryl Beamish, however, the nightmare wouldn’t end until long after Cooke’s death. It wasn’t until the early 2000s, over fifty years since the crimes were committed, that Button and Beamish would get new appeals.This episode would not have been possible without Broken Lives, by Estelle Blackburn. An unbelievably thorough dive into the story of Eric Cooke that was the catalyst for Button and Beamish’s appeals. Get it wherever you get books.You can read/watch the SBS Insight about John Button’s case herehttps://www.sbs.com.au/news/insight/at-19-i-was-charged-with-my-girlfriend-s-murder-a-crime-i-never-committedYou can listen to a way better podcast than ours, the ABC’s Wrongful, about Darryl Beamish here https://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/earshot/wrongful-the-darryl-beamish-story/9065874If you like what we do please consider supporting us on PATREONSubscribe to the podcast on ITUNES, STITCHER, SPOTIFY or your podcatcher of choice.Find us on FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM or EMAIL us on murderinthelandofoz@gmail.comwww.thatsnotcanonproductions.com

Eric Edgar Cooke terrorised the people of Perth for years, but they didn’t know it.The people didn’t know that the nighttime prowler breaking into people’s homes and stealing money from purses while they slept, the peeping Tom who watched women getting changed and young couples getting busy, the maniac striking women down in deliberate hit-and-runs, the murderer of two young, well-known socialites, and the perpetrator of the Australia Day weekend massacre were all one person. How could they? What kind of a criminal commits such different crimes, with different MOs and no set victim type? Eric Edgar Cooke was a criminal unlike Perth had ever seen before.EPISODE NOTES:If Eric Edgar Cooke lived in the early days of criminology, his picture would have been used to model Lombroso's theory of the born criminal. He had a cleft palate and cleft lip, and the surgeries to correct these deformities left serious facial scaring and left him able to speak only in a mumble. In general, he looked like the guy you would have moved away from on the bus. Eric felt constantly rejected from society, and he wanted to strike back, and take back a little bit of the power that those beautiful, rich people held.At first it was small – stealing pocket change to supplement his income from his manual labour job. Clumsy and accident-prone in his daily life, he realised that at night, sneaking around people’s houses, he was agile and untouchable. He would prowl the streets of Perth night after night, stealing small amounts of money left out, and watching beautiful girls sleeping in their beds.Soon, that wasn’t enough. Cooke stole cars and began a series of hit-and-runs that were never linked together. Some of his victims died, some sustained life-long injuries. Still that didn’t satisfy him. He stabbed Pnena Berkman to death with a diver’s knife while she slept in her bed. Then he murdered Jillian Brewer with a hatchet. Still not enough. He went on a frenzied massacre on Australia Day, 1963, shooting at five people with a stolen .22 rifle. He got away with it all.Police wouldn’t link these crimes together for a long ass time… not until after two innocent people were imprisoned for crimes Eric Cooke had committed.Our main source this week was Estelle Blackburn’s Broken Lives, which discussed the life of Eric Cooke as well as John Button, one of the innocent men locked up for a crime Eric committed. We’ll get into John Button’s story more next episode.
