William MacDonald, (17 June 1924 – 12 May 2015), known as "the (Sydney) Mutilator", was classed as Australia's first true serial killer.
MacDonald was born in Liverpool, England in 1924.
Between 1961 and 1962 MacDonald terrorised Sydney with a string of gruesome murders before being apprehended while working as a porter at Melbourne's Spencer Street railway station on 13 May 1963.
His modus operandi was to select his male victims at random (mostly derelicts), lure them into a dark place, violently stab them dozens of times about the head and neck with a long bladed knife, and finally sever their penis and testicles.
