| QUEENSLAND, Australia — Last week Convicted serial killer Leonard Fraser, 55, was rushed to Princess Alexandra Hospital after complaining of chest pains. His condition continued to deteriorate and at 3.20am (AEST) he went into cardiac arrest and died. Prior to his hospitalization last week, Fraser was serving a life sentence for the murders of three Rockhampton women and a schoolgirl. Following the announcement of his death, Queensland Premier Peter Beattie, spoke briefly with members of the press. "I don't think there will be a great deal of sympathy for him," Beattie said. "His crimes were horrific and while no one likes to see someone pass away ... I don't think there will be a lot of grieving over his passing. I don't think anyone will be shedding any tears." A standard inquest will now be conducted to rule out the possibility of foul play. |
