Murder is the causing of the death of another human being, without lawful excuse, with intent to kill or with an intent to cause grievous bodily harm.
|
|
| |
Excluding mass murder as described by Ritual Mass Human Sacrifice and Political Mass Murder, the most feared kind of Murder in communities are those committed by serial killers. |
|
| |
A serial killer is defined as a person who murders at least three or more people and whose motivation for killing is based on psychological gratification rather than purely the motives of family trauma, theft or attempts to cover or commit some other non sexually related crime. |

Ancient history of serial killers |
|
| |
Contrary to the popular idea that serial killers is a relatively modern phenomenon, history provides sufficient glimpses to dispel this as inaccurate. Serial killers have definitely been part of human culture for at least the past two thousand years. |
|
| |
Around 58 CE, there is the historical record of Locusta a female who poisoned a number of noble Romans. |
|
| |
Between 1435 and 1440 Gilles de Rais, French noble and supporter of Joan of Arc tortured, raped and murdered at least 400+ young children, mainly boys. His confession and the church account of its actions is questionable given they allegedly played a part in "sacrificing" the children. However the crimes are well documented by civil officials from eye witness testimony. |
|
| |
Then there is the famous Catholic Prince Vlad Dracul (Vladislav III) (b 1431 - d 1476) known as Dracula whose murder sprees on one hand could be classed as political mass murder if not for the delight of the Catholic Saint Dracula in watching and participating in the torture and horrendous murder of tens of thousands of people. This makes Saint Dracula arguable one of the greatest serial killers of all time. |
|
| |
Between 1590 and 1610 Hungarian Countess Elizabeth Báthory tortured and killed over 600 young women and girls, making her the worst serial killer in Hungarian history. |
|
| |
Between 1790 and 1830 Thug Behram of India is convicted of killing 931 people through strangulation, of which Thug personally killed at least 150 and his band of cult murderers (Thugee) killed the rest. |
|
| |
The problem concerning historical records of serial killers, as is the problem today, that many of the worst serial killers by definition operate in secret, carefully hiding their tracks. In the 21st Century, there are many hundreds of thousands of unsolved missing persons cases around the world and tens of thousands of unsolved murders, many of whom may have suffered at the hands of serial killers. |
