Serial killer quote of the week:
“The killing was a means to an end. That was the least satisfactory part. I didn’t enjoy doing that. That’s why I tried to create living zombies with uric acid in the drill [to the head], but it never worked. No, the killing was not the objective. I just wanted to have the person under my complete control, not having to consider their wishes, being able to keep them there as long as I wanted.”
Jeffrey Dahmer—also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal—was an American serial killer and sex offender. He was convicted of the rape, murder, and dismemberment of 16 men and boys from 1978 to 1991. Dahmer began his fatal crime spree at the age of 18 in the summer of 1978, when he picked up a hitchhiker, Steven Mark Hicks, and lured him to his house on the pretext of drinking together. After several hours of drinking and listening to music, Dahmer struck Hick with a dumbbell. When Hicks fell unconscious, Dahmer strangled him to death, stripped Hicks' body of his clothes and proceeded to masturbate above the corpse. Convicted of 15 of the 16 murders he committed in Wisconsin and Hicks's murder in Ohio, Dahmer was sentenced to 16 terms of life imprisonment. Dahmer was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, and a psychotic disorder. Many of his later murders involved necrophilia, cannibalism, and the preservation of body parts of his victims.
