Daily Mail:
Mystery of 100-year-old skull and Australia's first serial killer and onetime
Ripper suspect Frederick Deeming, who entombed his victims in concrete
Frederick Deeming murdered six people with a knife and battle axe
He had a fascination from boyhood for entombing bodies in concrete
Deeming is one of the first to be given the description of 'serial killer'
Called 'Mad Fred' by his siblings he posed as a nobleman and conned women
His parents had both been in lunatic asylums and he 'talked' to his dead mother at 2am
He was a boastful shyster who came undone partly because people found him loathsome

He was known as 'The Demon' or 'Mad Fred' and he was Australia's first serial killer and a one time Jack the Ripper suspect.
Frederick Deeming, was a 19th century wife-killer, bigamist, thief and conman, who savagely murdered women and children on opposite sides of the world and entombed their bodies in concrete.
Now forensic scientists are trying to identify a skull thought to belong to Deeming, a reviled monster who was one of the first multiple murderers to be labelled ' a serial killer'.
