THE LESBIAN VAMPIRE OR THE VAMPIRE KILLER

Tracey Wigginton (born 1965) is a murderer who achieved notoriety for killing a man in Brisbane, Queensland - Australia, in 1989 for biting off his genitals and drinking his blood to fulfil her need to ‘feed’ She has been notoriously known as One of Queensland’s most sadistic murderers under the name of the "vampire killer".

When tired, Wigginton claimed to be a vampire who needed to feed on human blood. For some time before the murder, she had been drinking the blood of her lesbian lover, Lisa Ptaschinski. On the night of the murder, Wigginton, Ptaschinski and two other women lured a 47-year old man, Edward Baldock, to a park on the banks of the Brisbane River, scrashing him to death. There, Wigginton stabbed him twenty-seven times and then drank his blood.

In 1991 she was sentenced to life imprisonment by the Supreme Court of Queensland. In spite of some savage demonstrations of violence and ferocity against other prisoners, she has been well noted and she has begun to study literature and is about to be graduate.

Tracey Wigginton has been recently transferred to a low-security jail farm on the Gold Coast. This move has sparked fears around people who are afraid she could be freed.
