Convicted Claremont killer Bradley Robert Edwards will spend the next 40-years in prison over the murders of Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon.

The 52-year-old was today sentenced to life in prison with parole after being convicted in September of abducting and murdering the young women in 1996 and 1997.

He was found not guilty of the 1996 murder of 18-year-old Sarah Spiers.

Edwards will be 92-years-old when he is made eligible for parole.

Justice Hall tells Edwards he was clearly a “dangerous predator” who was “remorseless in your disregard for the pain and suffering that you caused” @9NewsPerth

Jane Rimmer and Ciara Glennon “no longer have a voice”.

“You robbed them of their lives, their hopes, their dreams” @9NewsPerth

Justice Hall found it “not necessary” to impose a no-release order, but said “there is a high likelihood that you will die in prison” @9NewsPerth
