Mr Cruel

Mr Cruel is an Australian pedophilic serial rapist, abductor and a prime suspect in the rape-murder of Karmein Chan. He raped three girls in 1987-1990, but police suspected that the same perpetrator committed similar attacks prior to 1987.

Modus Operandi
Mr Cruel was highly intelligent. He planned every single attack and covered his face, presumably with a balaclava. When Cruel broke into victims' houses, he tied up the family at the knife/gunpoint and moved them away from his actual victim. Then he raped her.

Cruel didn't hurry during the attacks and even took a break to eat the meal. When he abducted Nicola Lynas, Cruel said her that he would release them after 50 hours and he did. Mr Cruel bathed his victims carefully, with one victim describing the act as "like a mother washing a baby".
