This Day In History: German serial killer Fritz Haarmann was sentenced to death on this day in 1924. Known as the Butcher of Hanover, he committed the most horrible crimes against a minimum of 24 boys and young men between 1918 and 1924 in Hanover, Germany. He was also called the Vampire of Hanover and the Wolf-Man because he preferred biting into his victims' throats.
The most prolific serial killer in the modern era was probably Harold Shipman, an English doctor who is said to have murdered as many as 250 patients with fatal doses of painkillers.
The FBI estimates that there are between twenty-five and fifty serial killers operating throughout the U.S. at any given time. However, if you want to know the serial-killer capital of the world, you need look no further than London Ontario. (google it).
On a lark, I decided to look up serial killers in Iceland and they had one, Axlar-Björn, over 400 years ago.
