Russian,African ,American Serial Killers and how they were caught by TheSourcerer: 3:36pm On Jul 11, 2022
Childhood


Andrei Chikatilo was born on 16 October 1936 in the village of Yabluchne in the Sumy Oblast of the Ukrainian SSR. At the time of his birth, Ukraine was in the grip of a famine caused by Joseph Stalin's forced collectivization of agriculture. Chikatilo's parents were both collective farm labourers who lived in a one-room hut. They received no wages for their work, but instead received the right to cultivate a plot of land behind the family hut. The family seldom had sufficient food; Chikatilo himself later claimed not to have eaten bread until the age of 12,adding that he and his family often had to eat grass and leaves in an effort to stave off hunger.Throughout his childhood, Chikatilo was repeatedly told by his mother Anna that prior to his birth, an older brother of his named Stepan had, at age four, been kidnapped and cannibalized by starving neighbours, although it has never been established whether this incident actually occurred, or if a Stepan Chikatilo even existed.
Nonetheless, Chikatilo recalled his childhood as being blighted by poverty, ridicule, hunger, and war.[10]

When the Soviet Union entered the Second World War, Chikatilo's father Roman was conscripted into the Red Army. He would later be taken prisoner after being wounded in combat.Between 1941 and 1944, Chikatilo witnessed some of the effects of the Nazi occupation of Ukraine, which he described as "horrors", adding he witnessed bombings, fires, and shootings from which he and his mother would hide in cellars and ditches.On one occasion, Chikatilo and his mother were forced to watch their own hut burn to the ground. With his father at war, Chikatilo and his mother shared a single bed. He was a chronic bed wetter, and his mother berated and beat him for each offence.

In 1943 Chikatilo's mother gave birth to a baby girl, Tatyana. Because Chikatilo's father had been conscripted in 1941, he could not have fathered this child. As many Ukrainian women were raped by German soldiers during the war, it has been speculated Tatyana was conceived as a result of a rape committed by a German soldier. As Chikatilo and his mother lived in a one-room hut, this rape may have been committed in Chikatilo's presence.

In September 1944,Chikatilo began his schooling. Although shy and ardently studious as a child, he was physically weak and regularly attended school in homespun clothing and, by 1946, with his stomach swollen from hunger resulting from the post-war famine which plagued much of the Soviet Union. On several occasions, this hunger caused Chikatilo to faint both at home and at school, and he was consistently targeted by bullies who regularly mocked him over his physical stature and timid nature. At home, Chikatilo and his sister were constantly berated by their mother. Tatyana later recalled that in spite of the hardships endured by her parents, their father was a kind man, whereas their mother was harsh and unforgiving toward her children.

Chikatilo developed a passion for reading and memorizing data, and often studied at home, both to increase his sense of self-worth and to compensate for his myopia, which often prevented him from reading the classroom blackboard. To his teachers, Chikatilo was an excellent student upon whom they would regularly bestow praise and commendation



By his teens, Chikatilo was both a model student and an ardent communist. He was appointed editor of his school newspaper at age 14 and chairman of the pupils' Communist Party committee two years later. An avid reader of communist literature, he was also delegated the task of organizing street marches. Although Chikatilo claimed learning did not come easy to him due to headaches and a poor memory, he was the only student from his collective farm to complete the final year of study, graduating with excellent grades in 1954.

At the onset of puberty, Chikatilo discovered that he suffered from chronic impotence, worsening his social awkwardness and self-hatred.He was shy in the company of women;his first crush, at age 17, had been on a girl named Lilya Barysheva, with whom he had become acquainted through his school newspaper,yet he was chronically nervous in her company and never asked her for a date. The same year, Chikatilo jumped upon an 11-year-old friend of his younger sister and wrestled her to the ground, ejaculating as the girl struggled in his grasp.

Following his graduation, Chikatilo applied for a scholarship at Moscow State University. Although he passed the entrance examination with good-to-excellent scores, his grades were not deemed good enough for acceptance. Chikatilo speculated his scholarship application was rejected due to his father's tainted war record (his father had been branded a traitor for being taken prisoner in 1943), but the truth was that other students had performed better in a highly competitive exam.[He did not attempt to enroll at another university; instead, he travelled to the city of Kursk, where he worked as a labourer for three months before—in 1955—enrolling in a vocational school with the aim of becoming a communications technician. The same year, Chikatilo formed his first serious relationship, with a local girl two years his junior. On three separate occasions, the couple attempted intercourse, although on each occasion, Chikatilo was unable to sustain an erection.After eighteen months, she broke off the relationship.

Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo ( 16 October 1936 – 14 February 1994) was a purchase maniac , a Soviet serial killer, nicknamed the Butcher of Rostov, the Red Ripper, and the Rostov Ripper, who sexually assaulted, murdered, and mutilated, necrophilized at least 52 women and children between 1978 and 1990 in the Russian SFSR, the Ukrainian SSR, and the Uzbek SSR. Chikatilo confessed to 56 murders and was tried for 53 of these killings in April 1992. He was convicted and sentenced to death for 52 of these murders in October 1992, although the Supreme Court of Russia ruled in 1993 that insufficient evidence existed to prove Chikatilo's guilt in nine of these murders. Chikatilo was subsequently executed in February 1994

Robert Black
Robert Black’s job as a van driver allowed him to roam the UK and become a serial killer of little girls.

It has been proved he killed four between 1981 and 1986, but detectives believe he killed several more.

His victims included:


Nine year old Jennifer Cardy, who was snatched in County Antrim in August 1981. Her body was found in neighbouring County Down a few days later.

Susan Maxwell, 11, was kidnapped at Coldstream, Scotland in July 1982. Her body was dumped 250 miles away in Staffordshire.

Caroline Hogg was five when Black grabbed her near her home in Portobello, Edinburgh in July 1983. Her body was found in Leicestershire.

Susan Harper was abducted in Leeds in 1986. Her body was found in the River Trent at Nottingham.

Black was cornered in Scotland in 1990 after he was seen bundling a six-year-old girl into his van.

He is now serving eleven life sentences and will not be freed until he is aged 89.

The Stockwell Strangler


Erskine, became known as the ‘Stockwell Strangler’ after he killed seven elderly men and women in their homes in south London between April and July in 1986.

During the investigation the victims were examined by Home Office pathologist Dr Iain West.

All had been strangled manually with the killer using just one hand.

When police finally captured 24-year-old Kenneth Erskine they found he was already on file as a cat burglar.

He was convicted at the Old Bailey in 1988 and sentenced to forty years.

In 2009, after new psychiatric evidence was heard at the Appeal Court, it was ruled that Erskine should have been convicted of manslaughter on grounds of diminished responsibility. He was subsequently moved to be detained indefinitely inside Broadmoor top-security hospital.

Akinmurele Stephen


Stephen Akinmurele was a suspected
serial killer , of Nigerian descent, charged with murdering five elderly people between 1995 and 1998. The case is noted for Akinmurele's long-standing hatred of elderly people. Akinmurele committed suicide before his trial though confessed to a number of the murders. Police believe he may have also been responsible for two further killings.
All of the victims in the case were elderly with the lead investigator in the case noting that Akinmurele had a " pathological hatred" of old people. He was dubbed " cul-de-sac killer" due to his choice of elderly victims living in quiet suburban streets. Akinmurele had a history of mental illness and had committed crimes against the elderly from the age of 11. He was drawn to situations in which he would encounter the elderly with the police asserting he got a "kick" out of killing old people.
Akinmurele killed himself in Manchester Prison in August 1999. In his suicide note Akinmurele admitted to the crimes, saying that he regretted them and feared he would kill again. He had also earlier admitted to three other killings of younger victims, though police believe the confession to be false and an attempt to mask the ageist motivation behind his crimes.
Eric Boardman, one of the victims, received a posthumous award for his bravery in defending himself and his wife from Akinmurele. Boardman's actions caused vital evidence to be left at the scene by Akinmurle, enabling the police to trace him through his fingerprints

The London Gay Slayer




In 1993 Colin Ireland, a former soldier, decided to become a serial killer. He became known as the ‘Gay Slayer’.

He decided the ‘casual affair’ lifestyle of some members of London’s gay community made them ideal targets.

His first victim was theatre director Peter Walker.

After killing him at his London flat he called a newspaper and tipped them off.

Police found Mr Walker naked and tied to his bed with leather belts.

Chris Dunn was the second victim. Police found him naked and tied to his bed. He had been strangled.

Ireland then started making phone calls to Scotland Yard taunting them and challenging them to catch him.

When police found the body of third victim Perry Bradley – similarly tied up and throttled, they found the killer had turned family photographs on a mantelpiece towards the wall – so they would not see the murder.

When the police found victim four, Andrew Collier, tied and strangled at his London home they found the killer had also strangled his pet cat.

Ireland was caught and jailed for life after murdering Emmanuel Spiteri. He had picked up his victim at a London gay club, but as they walked through Charing Cross together they were caught on CCTV, and Ireland was identified.

Jerry Brudos (Lust Killer, shoe fetish )


Known as The Shoe Fetish Slayer, Jerry Brudos murdered four women in Oregon. His crimes started when he was a teenager—Brudos would follow and attack women, and then run off with their shoes. His behavior escalated, however, and when he was 17 he dug a hole to use as a subterranean prison and keep his victims as sex slaves. Brudos spent nine months in a psychiatric ward after this discovery. After being released, he settled down and got married…that is, until his ‘blackouts’ started again. He killed four women and, after attempting to abduct a 12-year-old girl who managed to escape and identify him, confessed to three of the murders

Dannis Rader BTK

Dennis Rader, known as the BTK murderer, killed 10 times in Sedgewick County, close to Wichita, Texas, between 1974 and 1991.

His first victims were all members of one family, Joseph and Julie Ortero and their daughter Josephine, 11, and son Joseph junior aged 9.

They were all smothered and strangled using a combination of ropes and plastic bags.

Detectives discovered evidence of systematic torture, leading them to dub the unknown suspect as the ‘Bind, Tie, Kill (BTK) murderer’.

His next victim, 21-year-old Kathryn Bright was stabbed. His next five, all young women, were strangled.

During his murder spree the killer wrote anonymous letters to police and local papers describing his crimes.

Then in 1991 the killings suddenly stopped. For 13 years the trail went cold until in 2004, for no apparent reason, the killer started to write again to the police, and using the newspapers, a dialogue was opened with detectives.

In one letter he asked if information could be gleaned from a computer floppy disc. The cops said ‘no’ but it was a deliberate deception.

His next communication was on a disc and from it police traced Dennis Rader to his home.

Rader, now aged 69 is now serving 10 consecutive life terms in jail

Ted Fvcking Bundy


Bundy was probably America’s worst ever serial killer. He was executed in the Electric Chair in 1989 having confessed to the killing of 30 young women, but the FBI think the true tally of his crimes may be twice that number.

Bundy was handsome and charming.

Sometimes he got attention from women by pretending to be injured or disabled and by asking for help.

Bundy appears to have started his killings in the Seattle area, where he battered and strangled several victims.

He hid their bodies in remote country areas, often returning to visit them and committing depraved sexual acts on their corpses.

Detectives discovered he had decapitated many of his victims and kept their heads at his home for a period as ‘trophies’.

After leaving Washington State he continued his killing spree in Colorado and Utah.

It was there in Aspen he was first arrested, but he escaped from custody twice, the second time on New Year’s Eve 1977.

Bundy moved on to Florida where for he killed three more women in three weeks before being caught, tried and executed.

The bodies of many of his victims have never been found.

Jeffrey Fvking Dahmer


Jeffrey Dahmer was unmasked as a serial killer when a semi-naked man wearing a handcuff on one wrist flagged down a patrol car in Milwaukee, USA, one evening in July 1991.

The man led the police to an apartment rented by 31-year-old Jeffrey Dahmer.

Searching a room an officer noticed a stack of photos in a drawer of what appeared to be naked men. Closer inspection showed they were of the dismembered bodies of Dahmer’s victims.

When detectives interviewed him he confessed to the murders of 17 men he had lured to his apartment.

Dahmer admitted he had eaten parts of some of his victims and kept the skulls of some as ‘souvenirs’.

Dahmer was sentenced to over 900 years in jail, but in 1994 he was murdered by another inmate.

Annanias Mathe

Annanias Mathe was arrested in November 2006 and charged with 51 counts of crimes such as murder, rape, hijackings and armed robbery. By that time, he had had an almost uninterrupted crime run for seven years. He had been arrested only once, in June 2003, for raping a woman.

In 2006, however, the psychopathic criminal decided he was not going to sit in prison. Held at the high-security C-Max Penitentiary in Pretoria, Mathe devised an escape plan. While the official story claims he smeared his naked body with petroleum jelly and lubricated his way to freedom, later investigations showed he had walked through the front door. Mathe’s gang bribed wardens nearly R100, 000 to let him escape.

His freedom was shortlived, however, because he was arrested two weeks later. His mistake this time was that he had carjacked a car fitted with a satellite tracking device. Although Mathe was never convicted of murder, he was convicted of 64 different counts of rape and robbery with violence. He was also found guilty of killing 12 dogs by poisoning them. The judge sent him to 455 years served concurrently, bringing the sentence to 54 years in prison.

In late September 2013, Mathe tried to escape again. He laboriously dug through the wall, concealing his work with clothing and toothpaste. His plan was discovered before he could stand any chance of escaping again. He remains the only person to have successfully escaped from the C-Max Penitentiary.

Philip Onyancha
Well Philip was arrested after a woman’s remains were recovered from a sewer of a house where he had worked as a guard. A second body, that of 32-year-old Catherine Chelangat, was found on the rooftop of a building opposite Karen Police Station.

During the interrogation, Onyancha claimed he had killed 17 people in different parts of Kenya. His motivation was cultist; while he was in high school in the early 1990s, his class teacher recruited him into a cult. The only way to be completely at peace, he was told, was to kill 100 people.

Philip Onyancha’s known victims were prostitutes and children. He claimed responsibility for four dead ladies of the night who had been strangled in cheap lodges in Thika. He lured his victims but then attacked and strangled them when they were alone in the room. The killer also claimed he had been involved in the murder of two kids in a forest near Lenana School. Although he claimed his motives had been purely fetish , he also confessed to have been part of a gang of kidnappers.

The kidnappers would abduct a child and demand ransom. They would kill the child even if the ransom was paid. The exact number of murders this Kenyan serial killer committed is still unknown as he is yet to be convicted(Africa right ?!)
Five years after he was first arrested, Onyanchas case is still weaving through the lethargic Kenyan justice system.

Gilyard’s crimes escalated from rape to murder and, though he had been killing for years before, wasn’t under suspicion of murder until 2004. Using DNA evidence, police linked Gilyard to twelve murders—almost all of the victims were prostitutes. Due to a several reasons, Gilyard was only convicted of six of those murders. However, police are still working to link him to the other victims as he serves out his life sentence without the possibility of parole

Sisters Delfina and María killed over 91 people at the brothel they ran together in Mexico. Young girls all throughout the country were sought to come work for the sisters as maids or waitresses…only to discover their actual job would be prostitution. But an even more sinister plot was uncovered when it was revealed that the sisters would kill girls who became sick, and even some wealthy patrons in order to get their money. After one of the prostitutes managed to escape in 1964, police discovered a mass grave riddled with bodies on the sisters’ property.

Bulelani Mabhayi, The Monster of Tholeni


The Monster of Tholeni terrorized the female residents of Tholeni in South Africa for years. His MO was simple; he would do reconnaissance on homes and identify houses without males. He would then break into the house in the dead of the night, attack and rape the female occupants. He would then hack everyone to death with a machete or axe. Some he would further mutilate, removing their wombs for cultist medicine.

Tholeni became known as “The Village of Death.”

The Monster of Tholeni had once come close to being caught but escaped because of a small oversight.

Sometime in 2010, the South African government launched a widespread operation to collect and record male DNA and fingerprints from Tholeni to aid in capturing the elusive murderer. Mabhayi claimed he had forgotten his identification card at home and his DNA sample was not recorded.

In 2012 the Monster of Tholeni made a grave mistake. He left a shoe at one of his murder scenes. The shoe was later identified as that of Bulelani Mabhayi and he was arrested.

Mabhayi pleaded guilty to 20 murder charges, six counts of rape and 10 rape attempts. He was sentenced to 25 life sentences.

Zambia’s claim to this list is a bizarre family of brothers from Luano Valley of Central Province. In the five years they roamed the jungles of Luano Valley, the three brothers-Mika, Stephen, and Fabiano-killed between 12 to 15 people. In a family of six brothers, only the eldest, Nelson, was never involved in the murders.

The murder spree began on April 27, 2007 when the brothers killed a local headman who had come to stop them from beating their mother. In a revenge attack by the victim’s son, one of the Mailoni brothers, Nicious, was shot dead and Fabiano was wounded. The remaining brothers, including Friday, escaped to their jungle. Friday would later abandon his brothers sometime in 2008 and reunite with his family.

According to Fabiano’s ex-wife Eredina, the brothers changed in 2007 after they visited a witchdoctor. They desired wealth, and the witchdoctor gave them a list of things to fulfill to get rich. Eredina claims they didn’t fulfil the instructions and they went mad. Eredina, who had been married to Fabiano for ten years, divorced her husband and went back to her parents. Shortly after, the brothers raided her parents home and killed her father.

The renegade serial killers frequently changed locations. Their motives seem to have been purely psychological and vengeful. Other than Fabiano’s father-in-law, they also killed Zambia Flying Doctors Service chief pilot Dr. Modesto Masumba and the headman of Shitambeni village, Mbalakwe Chipokolo. They also killed Luano Valley’s Chief Chembe’s key advisor.

In 2012, the Zambian police offered K50, 000 in cash for information leading to the capture of the notorious brothers. The army dispatched a platoon of commandos to hunt them down. On the evening of June 24th, 2013, Corporal Joy Shapela, 29, shot the serial killers. Their reign of murderous terror came to an end in the same fields where they had viciously stabbed their victims. Corporal Shapela was honoured at Zambias 50th Anniversary celebrations in 2014

The Pangaman



Atteridgeville in South Africa seems to produce more serial killers than one place ever should. The second known one was Elias Xitavhudzi, known in the media as The Pangaman. As his nickname suggests, Xitavhudzi used a machete to torture, kill, and mutilate his victims. All 16 men and women he is known to have killed were white, suggesting some kind of psychotic social activism in his murders. This infamous serial killer was hanged on 14th November 1960. The story of his capture and execution is not well known.

Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi,



Moroccos claim to this list was a cobbler and public letter writer called Hadj Mohammed Mesfewi. Aided by a 70-year-old female accomplice named Rahali, Mesfewi drugged and killed at least 36 women. 26 bodies were found buried under his shop while the other ten were under a different property he owned. Like the murderous sisters in Egypt, the serial killer robbed his victims after he killed them and then buried their bodies.

The intriguing story of his execution begins with a sentence for crucifixion on May 2nd, 1906. The method of punishment was considered too brutal by foreign diplomats in Morocco and the government caved in, instead sentencing him to immurement. He was buried alive on June 11, 1906 and died two days later.

Charles Quansah “The Kumasi Strangler”




In February of 2000, a 36-year-old man called Charles Quansah was arrested for the murder of his girlfriend, Joyce Boateng. An additional murder charge was added a few days later, that of a hairdresser called Akua Serwaa. Serwaa’s body had been found near Kumasi Sports Stadium on January 19th, 1996.

The names on Quansahs charge sheet kept increasing, and he was finally accused of killing 34 women. All the victims had been found lying in supine positions with their legs widely opened. There was clear evidence of rape, including a discarded condom near the victims body. It perhaps fit too well that the Ghanaian mechanic had a history. In 1986, Quansah had been jailed for rape. After his release, he raped another woman and was jailed again.

Prior to his arrest in 2000, he had been serving a jail sentence for robbery. The story of the Kumasi Rapist seemed to have finally ended with the apprehension of a man who had history and motives to kill. But that was not the end. There were 21 murders of young women in and around Accra in 1999. Four more were killed in the first half of 2000, with two of them being found within one week of each other and outside Mataheko, the primary dumping site of the most of the first murders.

Quansah’s arrest followed this outcry and in public, the police said that he confessed to nine other murders but they only charged him with one initially, and then added ten more. The most damning evidence that Quansah was most likely not the killer was that the killings continued after his arrest. By December 2000, the murders had reached a total of 31. Being an election year, the serial murders became a primary political issue, leading to the voting out of the Interior Minister and his deputy.

The presidential candidate John Kufuor made it a primary issue when he made finding the killer a plank in his 2000 election campaign. Three years after the fact, the former president Jerry Rawling’s sensationally claimed that more than ten ministers in John Kufuor’s cabinet had been involved in the murders which now totaled 34. He never specified or clarified his claim. For Quansah, only three of the charges seemed to have anything to do with him. The real serial killers might never be known.




Nigeria definitely has serial killers but for Nigerian Police to have no record of Serial killers, nor a citizens database , shows the level of security we have here. I used to belive we had no serial killers but it does know no race , it's biological

There was clear evidence of rape, including a discarded condom near the victims body. It perhaps fit too well that the Ghanaian mechanic had a history. In 1986, Quansah had been jailed for rape. After his release, he raped another woman and was jailed again.

Prior to his arrest in 2000, he had been serving a jail sentence for robbery. The story of the Kumasi Rapist seemed to have finally ended with the apprehension of a man who had history and motives to kill. But that was not the end. There were 21 murders of young women in and around Accra in 1999. Four more were killed in the first half of 2000, with two of them being found within one week of each other and outside Mataheko, the primary dumping site of the most of the first murders.

Quansah’s arrest followed this outcry and in public, the police said that he confessed to nine other murders but they only charged him with one initially, and then added ten more. The most damning evidence that Quansah was most likely not the killer was that the killings continued after his arrest. By December 2000, the murders had reached a total of 31. Being an election year, the serial murders became a primary political issue, leading to the voting out of the Interior Minister and his deputy.

The presidential candidate John Kufuor made it a primary issue when he made finding the killer a plank in his 2000 election campaign. Three years after the fact, the former president Jerry Rawling’s sensationally claimed that more than ten ministers in John Kufuor’s cabinet had been involved in the murders which now totaled 34. He never specified or clarified his claim. For Quansah, only three of the charges seemed to have anything to do with him. The real serial killers might never be known.




Nigeria definitely has serial killers but for Nigerian Police to have no record of Serial killers, nor a citizens database , shows the level of security we have here. I used to belive we had no serial killers but it does know no race , it's biological

Well, we would rather term our serial killings as ritual killings because the police are too lazy to process crime scenes and conduct proper investigations.

Jeffrey Fvking Dahmer


Jeffrey Dahmer was unmasked as a serial killer when a semi-naked man wearing a handcuff on one wrist flagged down a patrol car in Milwaukee, USA, one evening in July 1991.

The man led the police to an apartment rented by 31-year-old Jeffrey Dahmer.

Searching a room an officer noticed a stack of photos in a drawer of what appeared to be naked men. Closer inspection showed they were of the dismembered bodies of Dahmer’s victims.

When detectives interviewed him he confessed to the murders of 17 men he had lured to his apartment.

Dahmer admitted he had eaten parts of some of his victims and kept the skulls of some as ‘souvenirs’.

Dahmer was sentenced to over 900 years in jail, but in 1994 he was murdered by another inmate.
