After garnering unprecedented public interest in Western Australia, the Claremont serial killer trial is set to resume in Perth following a two-week recess.

Ex-Telstra technician and confessed rapist Bradley Edwards, 51, has pleaded not guilty to murdering secretary Sarah Spiers, 18, childcare worker Jane Rimmer, 23, and solicitor Ciara Glennon, 27, in 1996 and 1997.

The bodies of Ms Rimmer and Ms Glennon were found in bushland at opposite ends of Perth, but Ms Spiers' body has never been located.

The Western Australia Supreme Court trial has so far heard from more than 100 civilian witnesses.
