    Carrying on from the Ted Bundey tapes
    Who in your opinion is the worst serial killer

    Doesnt have to be by the amount of victims, it can also be about the brutality or the twisted logic of their crimes

    For me there was always something twisted about Albert Fish
    Though he has only been proven to have killed and eaten 3 children he is one of the most twisted killers out there

    Hitler, he was so good he got millions of others to do it for him.

    Vlad the Impaler. Twisted psychopath. Worse than Hitler because he genuinely enjoyed cruelty and sadism.

    Ángel Maturino Reséndiz, aka The Railway Killer, was pretty terrifying. I usually find serial killer stuff pretty fascinating but I'd to stop listening to a podcast about him. One of those guys on a "divine mission" to rape and bludgeon people to death.

    Going to say Harold Shipman given he was the victims trusted family doctor.

    I've often thought about that, do you think Hitler is up in heaven sipping pena coladas while his generals are burning in hell?

    Karla Homolka and Paul Bernardo aka The Ken & Barbie Killers.

    Tortured and killed many young girls one of which was Karla's own sister.

    Andrei Chikatilo

    Convicted of murdering 52 children and young women. At his trial the evidence was so graphic several of the victims relatives fainted.

    Executed by gunshot in 1994

    Butcher , cannibal if i remember correctly ,

    Gacy and Dahmer were absolute monsters.

    The Wikipedia summary for American serial killers runs for pages and pages and pages. It's unbelievable.

    Shipman was a medical serial killer.

    Naturally, people fear the psychopathic cannibal-type much more. The 'Hannibal Lecter' creepy guy.

    Are you talking about in terms of the one who actually pulls the trigger or the world leader who set the act in motion...?

    Either way, either Salin/Hiter or the guys who ran the gualgs/concentration camps.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Gary Ridgeway - the green River killer

    Levi Bellfield would be one that I'd say would have crimes had have gotten away with.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,742 ✭✭✭Wanderer2010


    Without a doubt Rosemary West. She was by far the worst out of her and Fred, and it was her insatiable appetite for violent lesbian sex and torture that led to so many young women losing their lives. The fact too that she could get involved in killing her own daughter just adds to her sinister nature. Absolute monster.

    Preferably outside a war scenario as technically though monsters who kill and butcher they arent classed as serial or spree killers

    Even mass murderers outside of war situations, say Mao or Lavrenti Beria, seem different from serial killers as the actual act of killing does not seem to excite them in the way it would a serial killer. Rather they are motivated by an urge for power.

    The worst serial killer is the one who killed the least amount of ppl before getting caught.

    The Dnepropetrovsk maniacs. Maybe not up there in terms of numbers but very disturbing the way they filmed and photographed everything and thought it was funny while they were doing it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,822 ✭✭✭Comhrá


    John Wayne Gacy Jr. has to up there with the worst of them.

    Disturbing doesn't even come close, and they reckon they didn't find many more victims of the Wests, many of whom are alleged to be buried under old houses and even sites where motorways have since been paved. Sickos.

    BTK is worth a mention as well.

    From wiki

    Pedro Alonso López (born 8 October 1948[1]) is a Colombian serial killer, who was sentenced for killing 110 girls, but who claims to have raped and killed more than 300 girls across Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and potentially other countries


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,482 ✭✭✭Gimme A Pound


    Hard to say - does it mean in terms of the vulnerability of the victims? In which case Brady and Hindley. In terms of numbers, the Golden State Killer. In terms of methods, many as horrible as each other. The Toolbox killers make me shudder in particular.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,404 ✭✭✭1874


    probably someone not yet or ever caught,


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,641 ✭✭✭RollieFingers


    Jhon Jairo Velásquez Vásquez aka Popeye, Pablo Escobar's most loyal sicario (assassin) - claimed to have killed over 3000 people. Surely that figure has to be taken with a pinch of salt, but still he has to be up there.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,551 ✭✭✭SeaFields


    For me, when children are the victims it trump's it in terms of the worst notwithstanding they are all horrendous, disgusting people being mentioned here.

    I always find him to be a bit of a bullsh!t artist to be honest. All the interviewing he does, acting, etc. No doubt he killed people but I hate that self promoting crap about how bad he was.

    It's crazy alright, talk about cashing in on your notoriety! Guided tours around Medellin and all!

    Joe o Reilly and Graham dwyer. Two arrogant murders who are so dillussional they still think they will walk free.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,259 ✭✭✭donkeykong5

    Did they kill more than one person?

    All are horrific but for me the absolute worse are parents who torture/abuse their own children for long periods of of time before they eventually die a slow agonising death eg the Baby P case.. Children that are found in horrific circumstances having been starved and tortured, I just can't get my head around it, absolute utter scum. I can kind of understand how a parent just snaps (not condoning it) but how does someone continuously harm their own children or stand by and allow someone else do it.. Its breaks my heart reading about those murders.

    Pretty hard to track and find a hobo, transient, freight train hopping serial killer, seen a documentary about this fella.

    In US cases, makes me agree with the death penalty (I keep veering between for and against but no ambiguity in those situations).
