[Jairzinho]

Woo Bum-kon. Killed 57 people because his girlfriend swatted a fly on his chest.

 

But I'll be honest, its predominantly because of his name.

[brucespanner]

 

Most prolific.

Most systematic.

Most prolonged killing spree.

Fucked his own mother (allegedly).

Cool beard.

 

 

And as a teenager I played with the stethoscope he used during his busiest years, true story.

Honourable mentions must go the Gary Ridgway aka The Green River Killer

 

Gary Ridgway - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Early in August 2003, Seattle television news reported that Ridgway had been moved from a maximum security cell at King County Jail to an undisclosed location. Other news reports stated that his lawyers, led by Anthony Savage, were closing a plea bargain that would spare him the death penalty in return for his confession to a number of the Green River murders.

 

On November 5, 2003, Ridgway entered a guilty plea to 48 charges of aggravated first degree murder as part of a plea bargain, agreed to in June, that would spare him execution in exchange for his cooperation in locating the remains of his victims and providing other details. In his statement accompanying his guilty plea, Ridgway explained that all of his victims had been killed inside King County, Washington, and that he had transported and dumped the remains of the two women near Portland to confuse the police.

 

Deputy prosecutor Jeffrey Baird noted in court that the deal contained "the names of 41 victims who would not be the subject of State v. Ridgway if it were not for the plea agreement." King County Prosecuting Attorney Norm Maleng explained his decision to make the deal:

“ We could have gone forward with seven counts, but that is all we could have ever hoped to solve. At the end of that trial, whatever the outcome, there would have been lingering doubts about the rest of these crimes. This agreement was the avenue to the truth. And in the end, the search for the truth is still why we have a criminal justice system ... Gary Ridgway does not deserve our mercy. He does not deserve to live. The mercy provided by today's resolution is directed not at Ridgway, but toward the families who have suffered so much ...[13] ”

 

On December 18, 2003, King County Superior Court Judge Richard Jones sentenced Ridgway to 48 life sentences with no possibility of parole and one life sentence, to be served consecutively. He was also sentenced to an additional 10 years for tampering with evidence for each of the 48 victims, adding 480 years to his 48 life sentences.

 

Ridgway led prosecutors to three bodies in 2003. On August 16 of that year, remains of a 16-year-old female found near Enumclaw, Washington, 40 feet from State Route 410, were pronounced as belonging to Pammy Annette Avent, who had been believed to be a victim of the Green River Killer. The remains of Marie Malvar and April Buttram were found in September. On November 23, 2005, The Associated Press reported that a weekend hiker found the skull of one of the 48 women Ridgway admitted murdering in his 2003 plea bargain with King County prosecutors. The skull of Tracy Winston, who was 19 when she disappeared from Northgate Mall on September 12, 1983, was found by a man hiking in a wooded area near Highway 18 near Issaquah, southeast of Seattle.

 

Ridgway confessed to more confirmed murders than any other American serial killer. Over a period of five months of police and prosecutor interviews, he confessed to 48 murders––42 of which were on the police's list of probable Green River Killer victims.[14] On February 9, 2004, county prosecutors began to release the videotape records of Ridgway's confessions. In one taped interview, he told investigators initially that he was responsible for the deaths of 65 women, but in another taped interview with Reichert on December 31, 2003, Ridgway claimed to have murdered 71 victims and confessed to having had sex with them prior to killing them, a detail which he did not reveal until after his sentencing.[15] In his confession, he acknowledged that he targeted prostitutes because they were "easy to pick up and that he hated most of them."[16] He also confessed that he had sex with his victims' bodies after he murdered them, but claimed he began burying the later victims so that he could resist the urge to commit necrophilia.[17]

 

Ridgway talked to and tried to make his victims comfortable before he committed the murders. In his own words, "I would talk to her... and get her mind off of the, sex, anything she was nervous about. And think, you know, she thinks, 'Oh, this guy cares'... which I didn't. I just want to, uh, get her in the vehicle and eventually kill her."[18]

 

Later in a statement Ridgway said that murdering young women was his "career".[19]

 

Ridgway is incarcerated at Washington State Penitentiary in Walla Walla, Washington.

 

William Suff

 

William Suff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Early crimes

 

In 1974, a Texas jury convicted Suff and his then-wife, Teryl, of beating their two-month-old daughter to death. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals later reversed Teryl’s conviction but upheld Suff's in Suff v. State (Tex. 1976) 531 S.W.2d 814, finding insufficient evidence to convict her as either the primary actor or a principal in their baby's murder. Though Suff was sentenced to 70 years in a Texas prison, he served only 10 years before his 1984 release on parole.

Murders

 

He subsequently raped, stabbed, strangled, and sometimes mutilated 12 or more prostitutes in Riverside County, beginning in 1986. On January 9, 1992, Suff was arrested after a routine traffic stop.

 

Described as a mild-mannered loner, Suff worked as a county stock clerk who allegedly delivered supplies to the task force investigating his killing spree. He liked to impersonate police officers and cooked chili at office picnics. In fact, it was alleged that he used the breast of one of his victims in his chili, which won the "Riverside County Employee Chili Cookoff." He was also working on a book about wild, lethal dogs. He enjoyed vanity plates and was an avid volunteer in the county's car-pooling program.

 

H.H. Holmes - The book mention by Erik Larson on him is superb by the way.

 

Herman Webster Mudgett (May 16, 1861[1] – May 7, 1896[2]), better known under the alias of Dr. Henry Howard Holmes, was one of the first documented American serial killers in the modern sense of the term. In Chicago at the time of the 1893 World's Fair, Holmes opened a hotel which he had designed and built for himself specifically with murder in mind, and which was the location of many of his murders. While he confessed to 27 murders, of which nine were confirmed, his actual body count could be as high as 250.[citation needed] He took an unknown number of his victims from the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, which was less than 2 miles away from his "World's Fair" hotel.

 

The case was notorious in its time and received wide publicity through a series of articles in William Randolph Hearst's newspapers. Interest in Holmes's crimes was revived in 2003 by Erik Larson's The Devil in the White City, a best-selling non-fiction book that juxtaposed an account of the planning and staging of the World's Fair with Holmes's story.

I also can't recommend this book Highly enough The Monster of Florence: Amazon.co.uk: Douglas Preston, Mario Spezi: Books it is fucking brilliant. I like Douglas Preston as an author anyway, but this is just ace. The ineptness of the Italian police is unbelievable, and the same prosecutor who fucked this up is the one who convicted Amanda Knox. After reading this I am certain she is innocent. Anyway, more on the subject matter :

 

The Monster of Florence, also known as Il Mostro, is an epithet commonly used for the perpetrator, or the perpetrators, of 16 murders that took place between 1968 and 1985[1] in the province of Florence, Italy. The same gun and pattern was used in all the murders.

 

Four local men, Stefano Mele, Pietro Pacciani, Mario Vanni and Giancarlo Lotti have been arrested, charged and convicted in relation to the case at different points in time. However, these convictions have been criticized and ridiculed in the media, critics suggest that the real killer or killers have never been identified. Several other suspects were arrested and held in captivity at various points, but they were later released when subsequent murders using the same weapon and methods cast doubt on the guilt of the suspects held in captivity.

Dennis Nilsen as he was gutted when he got lifted that there'd be no-one to look after his dog.

 

 

Kick-ass pair of gligs too.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

Mr. Miller, who lives in number 666 in Spaced's neighbourhood. He was a serial killer, but brilliantly disguised it by pretending to be the local vicar. Top lad.

Yes you are glorifying people who kill people ? Yes you pretend to be upset about the 96 who lost their lives ? Think about the families who lost loved ones to these complete nutters. Then think about the families of the 96 and then just think ? Do you not see something wrong here ?

 

Humility is something that is quite lacking on these forums. I am sure tho if you met the families of the people who got murdered, they would thank you with open arms. I bet even more if one of the poor families of the 96 who lost their lives met you after reading this thread, they would do the same.

 

You make a mockery of this club and its fan base and you shame every Liverpool fan with this glorification of murderers. I want no part of it in any respect.

 

You make me sick.....

Why comment then?

[Guest Jon Snow]

Well I felt someone needed to defend the poor souls who was killed.

 

Maybe let you naive people know that your misguided attempts of humor is sickening and frankly isn't funny in the slightest. If it isn't humor and you are fan boys of killers like this, then you need a whole load of help.

 

Any ways I meant my statement i want nothing to do with this so this is my last post in here.

Kevplest. Appeared from nowhere. Cyberstalked his targets. The disappeared like a leaf in a hurricane. And now Nantwich Girl is missing. Just putting it out there.

[Magic Sponge]

Why comment then?

 

Because he's a slobbering mong who thinks that he can throw his weight around after being here only a matter of weeks.

 

Hey Jon, how about you take the needle off your moral compass and shove it up your ass.

Oh yeah I know that, I'd probably add he's a cunt as well just for good measure.

 

Good job he won't be back on this thread or he might get offended again.

"You'll get arse-fucked by Rose's massive dildo "Cunt-buster" and then murdered.

 

Night night"

That would be preferable to shagging old Mrs. Wizardsleeve-West.

[Jose Jones]

I liked Bundy's pretend to have a broken arm and get them to help you carry things to the car technique. Also being arrested escaping and then carrying on to kill more people shows a certain dedication.

 

Where do people stand on killing prostitutes, obviously a classic carried out by many a serial killer, but is it a bit too easy?
