We have had so many...
Dahmer. Son of Sam. The Black Dhalia. The Alphabet killer. The Chicago Strangler. And so many more. Some were caught. A lot weren't even ever identified.

Prime minister convicted of embezzling 1.1B in sovereign funds, used Saudi and religious influence to game a general election (he lost), linked to a c4-based murder of a foreign national, wife accused of financial misappropriation and yes, parts of the population still want him to return to power.
Not the Philippines.

country is pretty vague. I'll answer in my "somewhere where I pass once a month or so" answer.
There was a hair stylist place about ~20-30m from us where my mom actually went once. In-between my parents old school and where we live now. I forgot the full story but the TLDR is that an employee got fired then went insane and murdered her boss in the stylist place then cleaned it so well nobody thought it happened there, but when they turned on a black light there was blood everywhere. I think there was something about sawing a head off too?
I'm missing a TON of details because I was about 10 when it happened, but for me it was creepy AF considering how there's a chance my mom saw the person.
edit: iirc there was an episode of it on a true crime Netflix show

The Shankill Butchers is a very infamous one in Northern Ireland, although there are many from the Troubles era.
Their leader became such a loose cannon that details of his whereabouts were supposedly supplied by Loyalist paramilitaries to the IRA so they could take him out, which was pretty crazy since they were opposing sides in the conflict.

We had a female serial killer that posed as a nurse or social worker to get access to vulnerable and elderly people's homes, violently murder them and rob them. She was suspected of arround 40 murders, but got convicted for less.

Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka, "The Ken and Barbie Killers".
wrote last edited by [email protected]She's been released. I think she lives in QC somewhere, got remarried and maybe even has a kid? Ugh, at least he will spend the rest of his life in jail.

You forgot Toybox, that sick fuck. Then, there's that Ramirez schmuck too. "Night Stalker" I think they called him?

The "Chopper" case in Germany, 1981.
Someone/something talked with a ghost-like voice in the middle of a telephone call, or out of a sink or a toilet, and it said very detailed and creative insults, many of them, mostly against a dentist and his young female assistant, and of course all their patients heard it.
People felt terrorized.
It made the news headlines for about 2 years. Ghost experts got involved. It kept the police busy. TV shows etc.
In the end they found that the assistant was doing it. They never really found out the reason why she did it.

What about the Metzgermeister? The case about the cannibal who ate the victim's severed penis along with the victim, and then murdered and ate the guy's flesh. The guy did volunteer to be eaten, to be fair.

Switzerland: The Rupperswil case: A kids football coach turned out to be a crazy pedo... He broke into the house of a kid in his neighbourhood, took the boy, his brother & the gf of the brother hostage. Asked the mom for money. Made her go get all their savings from the bank. When she came back and thought it would be over, he also took the mom hostage and forced them to watch him rape the boy. He later killed them all and burned down the house. He went without being catched for years and everybody though it was the husband.
When the coach was preparing and stalking his next victim, he got catched... If I remember correctly, his google search hiatory gave him away...

We have this thing called "CumEx" going on in Central Europe. Some criminal bankers literally rob the states of hundreds of billions in tax money, everybody knows about it, but nobody does anything about it. That is Al Capone level of true crime, when the criminals are so powerful that the authorities just look the other way.

Her motive seems pretty obvious to me; she was both bored and cool. That's all it takes

He didn't actually eat the bepis iirc. He fried it and tried to, but found it to be too tough to chew. This saddened him. And, again, I could be misremembering, but I think the guy he ate sat in his tub, bleeding out for hours before he actually died. Willingly tbc and I vaguely remember something about him reading a Star Trek novel while he waited to tap out? We are some very strange animals, us humans.

I didn't really believe half of it.

Robert Pickton, who liked pig-farm based body disposal and was allowed to be active for a ridiculously long time.
Elizabeth Wettlaufer, who liked to inject her nursing home residents with things.
Karla Homolka really should be mentioned alongside Bernardo, there. Helping your serial killer husband rape and murder your sister is some next-level depravity.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Homolka only got like 12 fucking years for recording the rapes and in at least one case actually sexually assaulting, drugging and murdering several teenage girls. That's beyond fucked. She's just out there living freely now, with her children. What the fuck.
