What are some of the most infamous true crime cases of your country?

Paul Bernardo

Murder of Emanuel Jaques

The murder of Robert Pearson
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.

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
Someone I know worked during a period of time with Bruno Hernandez:

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.
Hearing about them finally finding the East Area Rapist/Original Night Stalker/Golden State Killer so many years later was insane!

Pickton is one of the most horrifying. The dildo gun… packaging people meet and delivering it to be served to people…

It's the price of getting a guaranteed conviction, I guess.

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.
Dude clearly needed to stew it.

Yeah, it's not confirmed he actually pulled a Sweeney Todd, but there's a possibility. People who were in the area at the time don't even like think about it. The good news is that human meat isn't very visually like pork, and just feeding bodies to the pigs would have been easier.

Oh yah, it totally isn’t proven, but from all I’ve researched I think it’s pretty likely. I also don’t like to think about that… He definitely fed a bunch of poor girls to pigs, for sure. I read and listen to a lot of true crime and his was one of the most disgusting cases I’ve looked into. I can’t imagine the smell of the place.

Going back a bit but another young lady, Lizzie Borden
Lizzie Borden took an ax
And gave her mother forty whacks,
And when she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one. -
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.
That last bit got a laugh of out me!

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.
Inspired a haunting track.
