- Born in Kenvil, NJ, in 1917, Eddie Leonski was an American Army soldier stationed in Melbourne, Australia, during World War II. Arrested for raping and murdering three local women, to which he confessed, an agreement was reached between US military authorities and local Australian authorities in which he would be tried by the US Army at a court-martial. Convicted of all charges, he was sentenced to death by hanging, which was carried out at Australia's Pentridge Prison in Melbourne on 11/9/42.
