Infamous murderers - Rodney Castleden

Infamous murderers, their deeds horrifying yet intriguing, have always inspired a strange fascination. Their crimes repulse us, yet the more heinous the act, the more we crave information, and ultimately we elevate the perpetrator to a celebrity status. The names of the often random and completely innocent victims are not always so easily recalled.

Infamous murderers are remembered for very different reasons. Some have struck out and killed for revenge, some in an uncontrollable jealous rage. Other planned the murder out of greed, or with profit in mind. Some acted out of pure hatred and rage. All the more disturbing though, are those whose motives remain unclear. They just had the urge to kill.
