År 1948 patrullerade två japanska poliser sin vanliga runda i Shinjuku i Tokyo när de stoppade en cyklist som påstod att han transporterade tangeriner till en släktings hus. När de inspekterade mannens cykel hittade de ett litet livlöst spädbarn inlindat i ett klädesplagg.

Natten till Halloween 2017 publicerades en gåtfull artikel i en japansk tidning. I texten hävdade man att en misstänkt person hade gripits efter att nio kroppar hittats i hans lägenhet utanför Tokyo.

Den gripne var en ung man med ett till synes relativt normalt liv. Det kom en konstig lukt från hans bostad, men att hemmet skulle visa sig vara fullt av ruttnande mänskliga kvarlevor kom som en chock för vaktmästaren, grannarna och senare allmänheten.

Assieme al brutale delitto di Novi Ligure, avvenuto pochi mesi prima, quello di Cogne rappresenta uno spartiacque fondamentale nella storia della cronaca nera italiana. In questo caso, infatti, il ruolo dei media è stato intenso e a tratti addirittura invasivo. Di fatto con Cogne è iniziata una nuova stagione dei grandi casi di cronaca nera televisiva con trasmissioni, reportage, “plastici” e ricostruzioni più o meno fedeli ai fatti. Per la prima volta nella storia della televisione italiana poi la protagonista di fatto di sangue così grave non si sottrae alle telecamere.

Дарья Николаевна Салтыкова по прозвищу Салтычиха и "Людоедка" (1730 — 1801) — русская богатая помещица, вошедшая в историю как изощрённая садистка и серийная убийца, в отношении которой было доказано убийство 138 подвластных ей крепостных крестьян.

Til Halloween i 2017 beskrev en kryptisk artikel i en japansk avis, at politiet havde anholdt en mistænkt, efter de havde fundet ni lig i hans lejlighed uden for Tokyo. Den anholdte var en ung mand med et umiddelbart normalt liv, og ingen af naboerne havde haft fantasi til at forestille sig, at den mærkelige lugt fra mandens lejlighed stammede fra menneskelige rester.

Politiet og politikerne indså snart, at de aldrig havde oplevet en lignende forbrydelse på japansk jord, og der var ingen retningslinjer for, hvordan den makabre sag skulle håndteres …

This highly revelatory book, based on original research and completely new analysis, presents a compelling new suspect as the most notorious serial killer of all time. Using a different analytical approach, for the first time, Sarah Bax Horton identifies a named perpetrator as Jack the Ripper by linking eye-witness accounts of the killer's distinctive physical characteristics to his official medical records. It argues that his broken left arm, which left him unable to work in early 1888, was one of his triggers to kill as part of a serious physical and mental decline caused by severe epilepsy.

In January 1978, I slept in my bed at the Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State University as Ted Bundy stalked nearby. He grabbed an oak log from a stack of firewood, slipped through a back door with a broken padlock, and headed upstairs.He began twisting doorknobs. Room 9 was open, and he quietly and quickly killed one of my sleeping sorority sisters. Across the hall, he found another unlocked door and murdered again. Then, he turned the knob to my bedroom and found it was open. I remember the attack vividly. But Bundy wasn’t my first brush with death, and he wasn’t my last.
