Whether evil, disturbed, or just
plain mental, The World seems
to have both a repulsion and
fascination with the lives and
minds of evil serial killers. Who
are these serial killers and what
motivates them to take the life of
another human being? We really
don’t know. But what we do
know is that as humans, we are
capable of some gruesome
things. Take these torture
devices which are meant to
inflict the most pain possible .
What sort of mind comes up
with such terrible devices for the
specific reason of torture? Serial
killers in desguise maybe? Who
knows. These are 10 of the most
evil serial killers of the 20th
Century

10)Ahmad Suradji



The idea of ritualistic serial
killers on one hand baffles me
and on the other hand fascinates
me. They’re a reminder that the
world is full of different cultures
where different practices are
considered acceptable than here
in the West.
But Ahmad Suradji doesn’t seem
to be following any kind of
cultural norm. Instead he just
sounds deranged. At the same
time, I have to admit it’s one of
the more “interesting” excuses or
motives I’ve ever seen. Here’s
more on Indonesian serial killer,
Ahmad Suradji.
The killings
Methods: Suradji buried his
victims up to their waists and
strangled them with a cable.
Motives: Suradji conducted ritual
killings. He claimed to be told by
his father’s ghost in a dream that
by killing these women and
drinking their saliva, he would
become a mystic healer.
Outcome: Ahmad Suradji was
found guilty on April 27, 1998 of
his crimes and was executed by
firing squad on July 10, 2008.

9. FRED AND ROSE
criminalminds.wikia.com
Between 1967 and 1987 Fred
West and his wife Rose tortured,
raped and murdered at least 11
young women and girls, including their children The pair
were finally apprehended and
charged in 1994 after police
obtained a search warrant and
located several human bones
buried within the garden and
under the floor boards of their
home. During his trial, Fred West
hanged himself prior to being
convicted. In 1995 Rose West
was jailed for life having been
found guilty on 10 counts of
murder.

Satan worshiper who terrorized
Los Angeles between 1984 and

Stalker”, Ramirez broke into the
homes of many of his victims
and then shot, stabbed, rapped
and mutilated them. His victims
ranged between the ages of a
nine year old girl to a married
couple in their late sixties.
Notably he smeared pentagrams
on the walls of his crime
scenes. Captured in 1985,
Ramirez was sentenced to death
and remained on California’s
death row for 23 years until he
died of complications from B-
cell lymphoma in June 2013.

7. JEFFREY DAHMER


wikipedia
Known as the Milwaukee
Cannibal, Jeffrey Dahmer was an
American serial killer and sex
offender who raped, murdered
and dismembered 17 men and
boys between 1978 and 1991.
He also committed necrophilia
and ate parts of his later victims,
dismembering and cooking parts
of their bodies. Dahmer was
eventually caught after a would-
be victim managed to overpower
him and alert police. In 1992
Dahmer was convicted of 15 of
the murders and sentenced to
15 terms of life in prison.
However just two years into his
sentence he was beaten to death
by a fellow inmate at the
Columbia Correctional
Institution.

(6)Andrei Chikatilo



persona.rin.ru
Chikatilo was a Soviet serial
killer, nicknamed The Butcher of
Rostov. He committed the sexual
assault, murder and mutilation
of at least 52 women and
children in Russia between 1978
and 1990. Believing he was the
killer, police carried out
surveillance on Chikatilo which
eventually provided adequate
grounds to arrest him. He
confessed to a total of 56
murders and was tried for 53 of
these killings in April 1992.
Victims’ relatives demanded that
authorities release him so that
they could kill him themselves.
He was convicted and sentenced
to death for 52 of these murders
in October 1992 and
subsequently executed by firing
squad in February 1994.

Notable Mentions
Clifford Orji
The Cannibal of Lagos was a notorious serial killer and a Cannibal quite like Dahmer he cooked up his victims and ate , chained most of his victims for days torturing and starving them for days , his prefered method wasn't bulging with sticks and clubs , decapitating and tearing off skin as victims were still very well coinscious but famished , he was arrested by the Nigerian police , when one of his victims was able to call attention of the public , not much is known about Clifford as little investigations were released to the public on his motif and background

5 Pedro Rodrigues Filho

wikipedia Pedro Rodrigues Filho is a Brazilian serial killer. Arrested in 1973, he was later convicted in 2003 for murdering at least 71 people and sentenced to 128 years in prison (although Brazilian law system prohibits anyone from spending more than 30 years behind bars). Committing his first murder at the age of 14, Filho began a series of burglaries and carried out a murdering spree against local drug dealers. By the age of 18 years old he had killed 10 people. Whilst imprisoned, he executed his own father who was also serving time for murder. Remarkably he went onto kill at least 47 inmates while imprisoned. His continued killings led to further convictions increasing his sentence to 400 years. However he was later released from prison in 2007 after serving 34 years but was later re-arrested in 2011.

4. Dr Harold Shipman



Dr. Harold Fredrick Shipman was
a English doctor and is one of
the world’s most prolific serial
killers in recorded history,
proven to have been responsible
for up to 250 murders. A trusted
doctor, he was well respected in
his community, however
colleagues and local undertakers
began raising concerns over the
high death rate in the area and
the large number of cremation
forms for elderly women that he
had countersigned. Several
bodies were later exhumed and
postmortems revealed
diamorphine within their system.
It was later established Shipman
had purposely injected fatal
doses of the drug in a huge
number of patients, causing
their death. He then forged their
wills so he could inherit large
sums of money and completed
cremation requests to destroy
the victim’s bodies. The trial
judge sentenced him to 15
consecutive life sentences and
recommended that he never be
released. Shipman later hanged
himself in January 2004 in his
cell at Wakefield Prison.

3. Pedro Alonso Lopez


murderpedia.org Pedro Alonso López is a Colombian serial killer, accused of raping and killing more than 300 girls across South America. He lured them to secluded areas or inside unoccupied buildings where he raped each of them before killing them by a range of brutal methods, primarily strangulation. López was arrested when an attempted abduction failed and he was trapped by market traders. He confessed to over 300 murders but the police only believed him when a flash flood uncovered a mass grave containing many of his victims. Eventually 53 bodies were discovered. Imprisoned in 1980 he served 18 years before being released from a Ecuadorian prison and was deported to Columbia where he was rearrested and in 2002 was sentenced to life.

2. TED BUNDY



Okay. So Ted Bundy is another
pretty well-known serial killer.
But cutting off and keeping the
heads of victims definitely puts
him in my list of seriously
disturbing serial killers.

Methods: Bundy’s victims
were beaten then strangled. He
was also guilty of rape and
necrophilia.
Outcome: Bundy faced execution
by the electric chair in Florida on
January 24, 1989.

Additional Information: Bundy
tended to kill women that
resembled his fiancé and had
similar hair styles. But because
they were physically different in
other ways, Bundy denied a
resentment towards here was
part of his motive.

1. Zodiac Killer
What can I say? I find unknown
serial killers to be rather
disturbing. Are they still out
there? I don’t know. But that’s
why the well-known Zodiac Killer
makes my list. The thought that
these monsters could evade
arrest gives me the willies.
Victims: The Zodiac Killer has 7
confirmed victims (5 dead and 2
survivors). However some
believe the killer has as many as
37 victims.
Kill Zone: California, United
States
Methods: Victims were killed
via stabbings and shootings.
Various cases were linked
because of the Zodiac letters
sent to newspapers. The letters
included strange symbols and
ciphers, some of which are still
unsolved. They also included
lines such as “Me=37, SFPD=0,”
announcing 37 victims for the
killer and no points for the
police. The letters date from
August 1969 to 1974 (last
confirmed).
Motives: One deciphered code
claimed the thrill of killing was a
motive, as well as talking about
the victims serving as his slaves
in the afterlife.

Notable mention
Aileen Wuornos



On one hand, I can understand
that traumatic experiences can
lead to disturbing behavior.
Still…. Aileen Wuornos is the first
female serial killer on our list
here, and she’s an example of
someone who was (or who
claimed to be) traumatized,
leading to the murders of several
men.
Victims: Wuornos killed 7 men
between the ages of 40 and 65.
Kill Zone: Florida, United States
Methods: The murders were
committed with multiple gun
shots.
Motives: Wuornosclaimed that
the men she killed had raped her
(or tried to) while she was
working as a prostitute.: Wuornos was executed
by lethal injection on October 9,
2002.

Notable mention
Ed gein

One of the most scariest serial killers ever to live , the movie chainsaw massacre was about him , yes Ed used the skin/face of his victims as his own face , used other parts of their body is cups , lamps and even clocks
Edward Theodore Gein (/ɡiːn/; August 27, 1906[1] – July 26, 1984), also known as the Butcher of Plainfield or the Plainfield Ghoul, was an American convicted murderer and body snatcher. His crimes, committed around his hometown of Plainfield, Wisconsin, gathered widespread notoriety after authorities discovered Gein had exhumed corpses from local graveyards and fashioned trophies and keepsakes from their bones and skin.

Nice read. These guys interest me. One cannot even imagine how twisted their minds are.
First time i saw that Ricardo Ramirez's picture, i was like wtf. The dude looks like a vampire.
I wasn't aware of the Nigerian serial killer. I'll check him out later
I like murder investigation programmes.

documentaries are usually fascinating, if you could deliver into the world of serial killers if you're not faint hearted , it gets even better ,
And Ramirez was one of the Worst of the Worst , he was unrepentant till his death , even carved the devil's pentagram on his palm and silicon horns , on his trials he proudly flaunted the pentagram at the camera and judge .

let's just typed that i've familiarized myself with scarier stuffs.
The guy was a monster, they all are. Take away Ted Bundy's charm and looks and he's as horrible as the rest.
Yep, i enjoy reading this sort of things. First to always remember that most humans are quack. Secondly, it's intriguing. There's a programme on Investigation Discovery on serial killers. Experts categorize them on a scale, based on their motives, methods, etc.
Like a women who used her victims fat to make soap.

leonarda was her name , Ted was a monster with charms , imagine how gracefully he acted as his lawyer and even asked one of the witness to marry him right there on the witness stand with a smile on his face



Another terrible man was Albert fish , Ate up his victims usually children , tortured them all kind of ways and sent letters to their parents on how he cut and cooked their children , very detailed seems he basically re -lived those moments in the letters he wrote

They chose their path.

Have you noticed our lack of serial killers in Nigeria , aside recently discovered David west , Either our policemen are sloppy or our serial killers are smart , or we conclude everything as 'unknown gunmen'
Here we have murderers ,and ritual killings , herdsmen attack and the sorts , but hardly serial killing , just as we have bank robberies and hardly any heists .

Lyydia:

it's not usually by choice , they are wired that way ,blood turns them on , fetishes that cannot be carried out unless through murder of the victim , psychosis and mental illness and some are just fine ,and do it for the rush, others for control , and for people like Dahmer eating his victims made him one with them

and if you meet Albert Fish, he would just seem to you like someone's NORMAL grandfather. Most serial killers take souvenirs from their victims to re_live the moment.
H.H Holmes was another psycho with his fvcked up mansion.
The worse part is the cannibalism that's involved. Like, they get off killing people (some serial killers claim that it feels like they are having an orgasm watching someone die) but why eat the corpse? Some even feed it to others. Messed up!

in a country where one can afford to kill a person, dismember the body and dump the remains in the street, how would we have the accurate number of serial killers?
And when they kill, the muderers don't take much measures to cover up their their trails. No hand gloves, the victims are publicly abducted (when women lure children with sweets) and all that. Yet they don't get caught at times. Meanwhile their DNA would be all over the corpes. I watched a Nigerian video, a body was found and the police was investigating the case. They told some random guy to carry the remains. Wtf! That ruins things.

our own killford orgy still dey chop life,I am sure they are still feeding him with human flesh where he his.

One of the greatest mistakes in life is to think that the Nigerian Police have sense of what fighting crime is all about.

Psychology. I'm not interested in these stories cause they are fun, i learn from them rather. There's no such thing as 'life' without 'death'. Can't deny the existance of these monsters and their evil.
To live a perfect life, we have to accept the presence of the good, the bad and the ugly.
