Edward Joseph Leonski (December 12, 1917 – November 9, 1942) was a United States Army soldier and serial killer responsible for the strangling murders of three women in Melbourne, Australia in 1942. Leonski was dubbed The Brownout Strangler, after Melbourne's wartime practice of dropping the electricity voltage to conserve energy. His self-confessed motive for the killings was a twisted fascination with female voices, especially when they were singing, and his claim that he killed the women to "get their voices".

  • Edward Joseph Leonski (New Jersey, 12 december 1917 – Coburg, 9 november 1942) was een Amerikaanse seriemoordenaar die zijn misdaden in Australië pleegde. Leonski staat zowel bekend als de Brownout Strangler als de Singing Strangler als gevolg van zijn motief voor de moorden. Dit motief was zijn verdraaide fascinatie voor vrouwenstemmen, vooral wanneer ze zongen. Hij beweerde dat hij de vrouwen om het leven bracht om "hun stemmen te krijgen". (nl)
