Australia’s most sadistic child killer Robin Reid, who shaved victims’ hair as trophies, WILL kill again if released, says officer who helped jail him in 1982

Australia's most sadistic child killer Robin Reid who raped, tortured and killed 13-year-old schoolboy Peter Aston in 1982 will 'maim and kill boys' if released from jail, says the police officer who helped lock him up. Reid, a former army corporal, and transexual soldier Paul Luckman kidnapped Aston and another schoolboy, Terry Ryan, at gun and knifepoint and took them to Kingscliff Beach, NSW, where they beat and assaulted Aston and buried him alive. Reid, who former Detective Ian Spiers describes as 'the most perverted evil human I have every come across,' could be freed from prison in less than 12 months.

Bridegroom who raped teenage girl, 14, on his wedding night while his pregnant wife slept next door is jailed for 18 years

A bridegroom who raped a teenage girl on his wedding night while his pregnant wife slept in the next room was jailed for 18 years today. William Jordan, 59, carried out the sickening attack after tying the knot at Hammersmith town hall in west London on April 20, 1973. The newlywed couple had spent the night celebrating at a friend’s home with other friends and family before turning in. Jordan, who was then 18, snuck out of the bed he was sharing with his wife and raped a 14-year-old girl. His victim was too terrified to tell anyone what had happened and blocked out the memory for years to come.

Man, 52, who murdered his sister and brother-in-law 26 years ago in 'brutal execution' to cover up incestuous relationship, weeps as he is dealt two life sentences

A 52-year-old Michigan man convicted of the shooting murder of his sister and her husband in a crime of incestuous passion went on a one-hour rant about God and his innocence before being sentenced to two life sentences on Monday. Ryan Wyngarden rambled on about how he had been framed by police over the 1987 slayings, saying he will soon be 'vindicated' by the Lord and even called the judge a liar. But his protestations were not enough to convince the jury - who found him guilty of two counts of first-degree murder - or Ottawa County Circuit Judge Jon Hulsing, who said Wyngarden was a controlling, calculated killer before handing down the dual prison terms without the possibility of parole. 'You are a brutal, cold-blooded murderer,' Judge Husling said, according to M Live.

Genesee River Killer Arthur Shawcross drew blood on the outside and pictures behind bars

His paintings were big splashes of primary colors, butterflies, flocks of brilliant blue and yellow birds, and wildlife around a water hole, a peaceable kingdom. So placid were these images that they would seem the work of a gentle nature lover. Yet, when the paintings came up for sale in April 2001, one lawman described them as “sickening.” Gov. George Pataki had the artist banned from any other exhibitions. Arthur Shawcross, 55, the artist, was also an inmate at the maximum-security Sullivan Correctional Facility where he was serving a sentence of more than 250 years for his other hobby — serial killing. It’s not clear when he took up his paints, but his other pastime had started some 30 years earlier with the slaughter of two children. He went to prison, was paroled, and started again. At least 13 victims would die at the hands of this jailhouse Rembrandt, known throughout the community around upstate Rochester, as the Genesee River Killer.

'I have no pain and no guilt. All I have is love': Mexican national executed for 1997 beating death of Texas man

A Mexican national who fatally beat a former Baylor University history professor in 1997 was executed Wednesday night in Texas. Ramiro Hernandez-Llanas, 44, was lethally injected in the state's death chamber in Huntsville. In October 1997, while he was in the U.S. illegally, Hernandez-Llanas led 49-year-old Glen Lich from his house by telling him that there was a problem with a generator, then repeatedly clubbed him with a piece of steel rebar. Armed with a knife, he then attacked Lich's wife. She survived and testified against Hernandez-Llanas, who also had been linked to a rape and a stabbing.

Killer makes funny faces to his daughters as they see him executed for rape and murder of 17-year-old girl

Pussy system with their last meal... they don't fucking deserve one! Eat shit and die!

A man convicted of kidnapping, raping and killing a 17-year-old girl made funny faces and mouthed words at his own daughters minutes before he was put to death last night. Jeffrey Ferguson, 59, was executed by lethal injection just after midnight on 26 March at the state prison in Bonne Terre, Missouri. He was accused of kidnapping Kelli Hall as she finished her shift at a Mobil gas station in St. Charles, Missouri on Feb. 9, 1989. Her naked, frozen body was found 13 days later on a St. Louis County farm, and police determined she had been raped and strangled. Her killer was animated just before his execution as he lay strapped to a hospital gurney. He had enjoyed a final meal he ate barbecue ribs, French fries and apple pie. To ease the tension, he made funny faces and mouthed words to relatives, who included his two daughters, sitting in the observation room. As the lethal drug was administered, he took a few deep breaths before becoming still, and his daughters cried as he closed his eyes. He was pronounced dead at 12:11 a.m.

Two killers leave a trail of bodies along Interstate 5 in California in the 1980s

Interstate 5 stretches nearly 1,400 miles from the Mexican border to British Columbia. Except for a brief section where it is known as the San Diego Freeway, most natives simply refer to the road as “The Five.” But in the 1980s, it might just as well have been called the Highway of Death. Two serial killers, working separately, stalked women along the interstate through the decade. One would become known as the I-5 Killer, the other the I-5 Strangler. Together, they are responsible for more than a dozen confirmed killings, but investigators believe that the actual number could be at least four times as high.

25 years ago, Pennsylvania boy Cameron Kocher shot and killed neighbor girl after losing to her in Nintendo game

Hitchhiker kept as sex slave for seven years as 'Girl in the Box' under captors' bed

Colleen Stan, 20, was picked up by Cameron Hooker, 23, and his 19-year-old wife, Janice, in May 1977. Hooker abducted Stan at knifepoint, forcing a 20-pound hinged wooden box around her head. For the next few years, Stan was tortured, raped — and left for days in the head box or another coffin-like box under the couple's bed.

NYPD slow to make the connection in Park Plaza Hotel slayings that claimed lives of eight women

No doubt New York’s Finest would just as soon forget that the Park Plaza Hotel ever existed. Eight women who lived alone there turned up dead in their rooms over a 16-month stretch, and the NYPD failed to make a connection. The first to die was Theresa Jordan, 39. Her decomposed body was found April 10, 1973, at the hotel, at 50 W. 77th St., opposite the American Museum of Natural History. Today, the rebranded building is called Parc 77, and closet-sized apartments go for three grand a month. But 40 years ago, it was a welfare flop where rooms rented for 40 bucks a month to down-and-outers. The coroner was summoned to the Park Plaza again 16 weeks after Jordan died. Kate Lewinsohn, 65, a retired stenographer, was found suffocated and raped in Room 221. Bodies really began piling up at the hotel in the spring of 1974.

Man who chopped off his coworker's head and put it on display at deli shop in 1991 asks to be let out of secure mental hospital so he can visit the mall

An Illinois man kept at a secure psychiatric hospital since 1993 after he decapitated his co-worker and put the victim's head on display, has asked to be allowed out for day trips. Michael Bethke was 28 when he beheaded Joseph Lesinski Jr at the White Hen Pantry in June 1991, and reportedly scrawled the word 'repent' in blood on the head. He claimed to be suffering from hallucinations that commanded him to kill, but hospital staff say Bethke has made significant progress and should be allowed out on supervised visits.

Is Louis Myers the Zodiac Killer? Man says now-dead buddy confessed to being Bay Area murderer

An upstate New Yorker claims his best buddy was the notorious Zodiac Killer, who paralyzed California’s Bay Area with fear during the late 1960s. The reason the man, then a teen, went on his bloody spree of at least five murders? Over a girl, Randy Kenney says.

Silent killer who raped and murdered 15-year-old takes two deep breaths and closes his eyes as he becomes Missouri's fourth inmate to be executed in four months

A man convicted of abducting, raping and killing a Kansas City teenager in 1989 was put to death tonight using a lethal drug after last-minute appeals Tuesday failed to stay Missouri's fourth execution in as many months. Michael Taylor, 47, of Kansas City, was executed at 12.01am Wednesday.

The 'Vampire king' of Fresno kills 9 children

At more than 300 pounds and with dreadlocks cascading past his waist, Marcus Wesson, 57, was not what people generally think of when they hear the word “vampire.” But, when he stepped out of his home on the afternoon of March 12, 2004, one detail perfectly fit the image of the undead — he was covered in blood. Police had been called to the house off the Golden State Freeway in Fresno to break up a domestic disturbance, a panicked call from a woman who said her child was being held captive. It quickly became the scene of mass murder. The corpses were piled in a bedroom. It took hours to figure out exactly how many there were, since the bodies were tangled up in bloody clothes. The final count was nine, all under the age of 25, the three youngest under two. All had been shot in the eye with a .22 pistol, which was found in the pile near the hand of the oldest victim. They were all still warm when police entered the room.

Woman arrested for murder of Boeing exec husband as human remains are found buried in her garage TEN YEARS after she claimed he had run off with mistress

A Washington woman is facing charges of murdering her husband who went missing 10 years ago after detectives uncovered human remains buried on her Arlington property last week. But 48-year-old Michele Donohue is sticking to the story she told husband Byron Wright's company and a divorce court when he disappeared in 2004 - that he left her for a young, rich, redheaded woman. Detectives never even knew Wright was missing, though his sister says she tried to report his disappearance in 2009 and was turned down.

Killer who mutilated two women fights deportation from UK...by claiming right to a family life

Right...?! Wrong...

A double murderer from Italy is fighting the Home Secretary’s decision to send him home to serve his prison sentence by claiming he has the right to a family life in England. Hair fetishist Danilo Restivo was jailed for life two years ago for the horrific murder of neighbour Heather Barnett, 48, in Bournemouth. He bludgeoned her with a hammer, cut her throat and mutilated her body before leaving a clump of someone else’s hair in her hand. Months after his conviction, he was convicted in his absence in Italy for a similar ritualistic slaughter of a 16-year-old girl in his home town of Potenza 20 years ago. Restivo, 41, was told he must serve at least 40 years before being considered for parole in the UK. This minimum term would cost taxpayers nearly £2million to keep him behind bars. But Theresa May has now issued a deportation order so he can be transferred immediately to an Italian jail. Restivo has appealed against the order and will argue at an immigration court hearing that he has the right to a ‘family and private life’ under Article Eight of the European Convention on Human Rights. His lawyers even tried in vain to have the special immigration court, scheduled to be held in Bradford in April, take place in secret to protect Restivo. The killer has a wife living in Bournemouth, more than 200 miles from his high-security jail at Full Sutton, near York.

Florida man executed for 1995 rape, killing of 9-year-old boy

STARKE, Fla. — A man was executed Wednesday night in Florida for raping and killing a 9-year-old boy 18 years ago, a death that spurred the victim’s parents to press nationwide for stronger sexual predator confinement laws and better handling of child abduction cases. Juan Carlos Chavez, 46, was pronounced dead at 8:17 p.m. Wednesday after a lethal injection at Florida State Prison, according to Gov. Rick Scott’s office. Chavez made no final statement in the death chamber, though prison officials said he had submitted something in writing. He moved his feet frequently after the injection began at 8:02 p.m. but two minutes later stopped moving. Chavez abducted Jimmy Ryce at gunpoint after the boy got off a school bus on Sept. 11, 1995, in rural Miami-Dade County. Testimony showed Chavez raped the boy, shot him when he tried to escape, then dismembered his body and hid the parts in concrete-covered planters.

Remains of wizard's house of horrors are found... hidden inside a Quaker meeting place

Their crimes were so awful that they were executed and their house – thought to be teeming with evil spirits – was abandoned and left to decay for centuries before being knocked down. But in the best traditions of horror movies, it seems the Edinburgh home of occultist Major Thomas Weir and his sister Jean is back from the dead. The Weirs were executed in 1670 after admitting to shocking crimes including bestiality, incest and necromancy. According to folklore, their house, said to be the capital’s most haunted home, then stood empty before being demolished in the 19th century, this month's edition of the Fortean Times said. But researchers have discovered that the builders of a church, now the Quaker Meeting House in Victoria Terrace, actually incorporated the old dwelling into the structure.

Tearful woman smiles at her friends as she's executed in Texas for torturing and beating mentally disabled man to death

Suzanne Basso held back tears and smiled at her friends as she became the fourteenth woman to be executed in America since the resumption of capital punishment. The 59-year-old woman was found guilty in 1999 of leading a group of thugs to viciously torture and murder Louis 'Buddy' Musso, a mentally disabled man she convinced to move with her to Texas with the promise of marriage. Executions of women are uncommon in the U.S. and only five women in Texas have been put to death since the Supreme Court resumed capital punishment in 1976.
