Police Reckon They’ve Identified Serial Rapist The Bondi Beast, But The Timing Is Unfortunate

NSW Police reckons it’s finally solved the identity of serial rapist the “Bondi Beast”, also known as the “Centennial Park Rapist”, after a man’s DNA was linked to a dozen historic attacks. The Bondi Beast is thought to have operated between the 1985 and 2001, and was the suspect behind 31 unsolved crimes. The crimes in question varied wildly — ages of the victims ranged from 13 to 55 years old and they didn’t fit a consistent profile, while attacks took place both in public (like parks or walking trails), and in women’s homes. However, all of them were violent sexual assaults. Now, advances in DNA technology have led Crimes Squad detectives to suspect Keith Simms, 66, of being behind the attacks which took place over 16 years. But it’s kind of complicated. For starters, Keith Simms died in February this year.
