Grote zaken, gruwelijke moordenaars

quote:

The Virginia Tech massacre was a school shooting that took place on Monday, April 16, 2007, on the campus of Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, Virginia. In two separate attacks, approximately two hours apart, the perpetrator, Seung-Hui Cho, killed 32 people and wounded many others before committing suicide. The massacre is one of the deadliest shooting incidents by a single gunman in United States history, on or off a school campus.

Cho, a senior English major at Virginia Tech, had previously been diagnosed with a severe anxiety disorder. During much of his middle school and high school years, he received therapy and special education support. After graduating from high school, Cho enrolled at Virginia Tech. Due to federal privacy laws, Virginia Tech was not informed of Cho's previous diagnosis or the accommodations he had been granted at school. In 2005, Cho was accused of stalking two female students. After an investigation, a Virginia special justice declared Cho mentally ill and ordered him to attend treatment. Lucinda Roy, a professor and former chairwoman of the English department, had also asked Cho to seek counseling. Instead of professional help, Cho's mother turned to the church, for exorcism; one Presbyterian minister said "spiritual power" was needed to help Cho.

The attacks received international media coverage and drew widespread criticism of U.S. laws and culture. It sparked intense debate about gun violence, gun laws, gaps in the U.S. system for treating mental health issues, the perpetrator's state of mind, the responsibility of college administrations,privacy laws, journalism ethics, and other issues. Television news organizations that aired portions of the killer's multimedia manifesto were criticized by victims' families, Virginia law enforcement officials, and the American Psychiatric Association.

The massacre prompted the state of Virginia to close legal loopholes that had previously allowed Cho, an individual adjudicated as mentally unsound, to purchase handguns without detection by the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS). It also led to passage of the first major federal gun control measure in more than 13 years. The law strengthening the NICS was signed by President George W. Bush on January 5, 2008.

The Virginia Tech Review Panel, a state-appointed body assigned to review the incident, criticized Virginia Tech administrators for failing to take action that might have reduced the number of casualties. The panel's report also reviewed gun laws and pointed out gaps in mental health care as well as privacy laws that left Cho's deteriorating condition in college untreated.

quote:

Cho used two firearms during the attacks: a .22-caliber Walther P22 semi-automatic handgun and a 9 mm semi-automatic Glock 19 handgun.The shootings occurred in separate incidents, with the first at West Ambler Johnston Hall, during which Cho killed two pupils, and the second at Norris Hall, where the other 31 deaths, including that of Cho himself, as well as all the nonlethal injuries, occurred.

West Ambler Johnston shootings

Cho was seen near the entrance to West Ambler Johnston Hall, a co-ed residence hall that houses 894 students, at about 6:45 a.m. EDT. The hall was normally only accessible to its residents via magnetic key card before 10 a.m. Cho's student mailbox was in the lobby of the building, so he had a pass card access after 7:30 a.m., but it is unclear how he gained earlier entrance to the building.

Cho shot his first victims around 7:15 a.m. in West Ambler Johnston Hall. At about that time, Cho entered the room that freshman Emily J. Hilscher shared with another student. Hilscher, a 19-year-old from Woodville, Rappahannock County, Virginia, was killed. After hearing the gunshots, a male resident assistant, Ryan C. Clark, attempted to aid Hilscher. Clark, a 22-year-old-senior from Martinez, Columbia County, Georgia, was fatally shot. Hilscher remained alive for three hours after being shot, but no one from the school, law enforcement or hospital notified her family until after she had died.

Cho left the scene and returned to his dormitory room. While police and emergency medical services units were responding to the shootings in the dorm next door, Cho changed out of his bloodstained clothes, logged on to his computer to delete his e-mail, and then removed the hard drive. About an hour after the attack, Cho is believed to have been seen near the campus duck pond. Although authorities suspected Cho threw his hard drive and mobile phone into the water, a search was unsuccessful.

Almost two hours after the first killings, Cho appeared at a nearby post office and mailed a package of writings and video recordings to NBC News; the package was postmarked 9:01 a.m.He then walked to Norris Hall. In a backpack, he carried several chains, locks, a hammer, a knife, two guns, nineteen 10- and 15-round magazines, and almost 400 rounds of ammunition.

Norris Hall shootings

Elementary French class students take cover in Holden Hall room 212. About two hours after the initial shootings, Cho entered Norris Hall, which houses the Engineering Science and Mechanics program among others, and chained the three main entrance doors shut. He placed a note on at least one of the chained doors, claiming that attempts to open the door would cause a bomb to explode. Shortly before the shooting began, a faculty member found the note and took it to the building's third floor to notify the school's administration. At about the same time, Cho had begun shooting students and faculty on the second floor; the bomb threat was never called in. Within one or two minutes of the first shots, the first call to 9-1-1 was received.

According to several students, before the shooting began Cho looked into several classrooms. Erin Sheehan, an eyewitness and survivor who had been in room 207, told reporters that the shooter "peeked in twice" earlier in the lesson and that "it was strange that someone at this point in the semester would be lost, looking for a class". Cho's first attack after entering Norris occurred in an advanced hydrology engineering class taught by Professor G. V. Loganathan in room 206. Cho first shot and killed the professor, then continued shooting, killing nine of the 13 students in the room and injuring two others. Next, Cho went across the hall to room 207, in which instructor Christopher James Bishop was teaching German. Cho killed Bishop and four students; six students were wounded. Cho then moved on to Norris 211 and 204. In both of these classrooms, Cho was initially prevented from entering the classroom by barricades erected by instructors and students. In room 204, Professor Liviu Librescu, a Holocaust survivor, forcibly prevented Cho from entering the room. Librescu was able to hold the door closed until most of his students escaped through the windows, but he died after being shot multiple times through the door. One student in his classroom was killed. Instructor Jocelyne Couture-Nowak and student Henry Lee were killed in room 211 as they attempted to barricade the door.

Cho reloaded and revisited several of the classrooms. After Cho's first visit to room 207, several students had barricaded the door and had begun tending the wounded. When Cho returned minutes later, Katelyn Carney and Derek O'Dell were injured while holding the door closed. Cho also returned to room 206. According to a student eyewitness, the movements of a wounded Waleed Shaalan distracted Cho from a nearby student after the shooter had returned to the room. Shaalan was shot a second time and died. Also in room 206, Partahi Mamora Halomoan Lumbantoruan may have protected fellow student Guillermo Colman by diving on top of him. Colman's various accounts make it unclear whether this act was intentional or the involuntary result of being shot. Multiple gunshots killed Lumbantoruan, but Colman was protected by Lumbantoruan's body.

Students, including Zach Petkewicz, barricaded the door of room 205 with a large table after substitute professor Haiyan Cheng and a student saw Cho heading toward them. Cho shot several times through the door but failed to force his way in. No one in that classroom was wounded or killed.

Hearing the commotion on the floor below, Professor Kevin Granata brought 20 students from a nearby classroom into an office, where the door could be locked, on the third floor of Norris Hall. He then went downstairs to investigate and was fatally shot by Cho. None of the students locked in Granata's office were injured.

Approximately 10-12 minutes after the second attack began, Cho shot himself in the head. During this second assault, he had fired at least 174 rounds, killing 30 people and wounding 17 more. During the investigation, State Police Superintendent William Flaherty told a state panel that police found 203 live rounds in Norris Hall. "He was well prepared to continue...," Flaherty testified.

During the two attacks, Cho killed five faculty members and 27 students before committing suicide. The Virginia Tech review panel reported that Cho's gunshots wounded 17 other people; six more were injured when they jumped from second-story windows to escape. Sydney J. Vail, the director of the trauma center at Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital, said that Cho's choice of 9 mm hollow point ammunition increased the severity of the injuries. Conversely, due to the limited penetration depth of hollow point bullets, it is likely that Colman would have died had they not been used.

quote:

Pierre and Andrews entered the Hi-Fi store in Ogden just before closing time, brandishing handguns. Two employees, Stanley Walker, age 20, and Michelle Ansley, age 19, were in the store at the time and taken hostage. Pierre and Andrews took the two into the basement of the store, bound them, and then began robbing the store. Later, a 16-year-old boy named Cortney Naisbitt arrived to thank Walker for allowing him to park his car in the store's parking lot as he ran an errand next door. He was also taken hostage and tied up in the basement with Walker and Ansley. Later that evening, Orren Walker, Stanley's 43-year-old father, became worried that his son had not returned home. Cortney Naisbitt's mother Carol Naisbitt, also arrived at the shop looking for her son who was late getting home. Both Orren Walker and Carol Naisbitt were taken to the basement and tied up. At this point, Ansley began begging and crying, as did Cortney Naisbitt.

Pierre then ordered Andrews to go out to their van and bring him back something. Andrews returned with a bottle in a brown paper bag, from which Pierre poured a cup of blue liquid. Pierre ordered Orren to administer the liquid to the other hostages, but he refused, and was bound, gagged and left face-down on the basement floor.

Pierre and Andrews then propped each of the victims into sitting positions and forced them to drink the liquid, telling them it was vodka laced with sleeping pills. Rather, it was liquid Drano. The moment it touched the hostages' lips, enormous blisters rose, and it began to burn their tongues and throats and peel away the flesh around their mouths. Ansley, still begging for her life, was forced to drink the drain cleaner too, although she was reported to have coughed less than the other victims (by Orren Walker). Pierre and Andrews tried to duct-tape the hostages' mouths shut to hold quantities of drain cleaner in and to silence their screams, but pus oozing from the blisters prevented the adhesive from sticking. Orren Walker was the last to be given the drain cleaner, but seeing what was happening to the other hostages, he allowed it to pour out of his mouth and then faked the convulsions and screams of his son and fellow hostages.

Pierre became angry because the deaths were taking too long and were too loud and messy, so he shot both Carol and Cortney Naisbitt in the backs of their heads. Pierre then shot at Orren Walker but missed. He then fatally shot Stanley before again shooting at Orren, this time grazing the back of his head.

Pierre then took Ansley to the far corner of the basement, forced her at gunpoint to remove her clothes, then repeatedly and brutally raped her, after telling Andrews to clear out for 30 minutes. When he was done, he allowed her to use the bathroom while he watched, then dragged her, still naked, back to the other hostages, threw her on her face, and fatally shot her in the back of the head.[1]

Andrews and Pierre noted that Orren was still alive, so Pierre mounted him, wrapped a wire around his throat, and tried to strangle him. When this failed, Pierre and Andrews inserted a ballpoint pen into Orren's ear, and Pierre stomped it until it punctured his eardrum, broke, and exited the side of his throat. Pierre and Andrews then went upstairs, finished loading equipment into their van, and departed.

Dat is wel heel toevallig. Ik zocht namelijk op hostage en acid. In dat verhaal over Hi-Fi staat geen enkele keer iets over acid, maar iets verder op bij een andere seriemoordenaar wel. Dom dat ik niet meteen door had dat dat het juiste verhaal was.

The Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs

Deze zaak is online heel bekend, maar ik herinner me niet dat het zo uitgebreid in het nieuws is geweest. Het filmpje waarin ze een man bewerken met een hamer en een schroevendraaier (3 guys, one hammer) staat nogsteeds op mijn netvlies gebrand. Op het filmpje praten ze ook met elkaar alsof het de normaalste zaak van de wereld is. Ze vinden het allemaal erg komisch.

Voor een ultieme kick bezochten ze ook de begrafenissen van de slachtoffers.

Zoals je wel vaker hoort bij zulke jonge psycho's, begonnen ook deze jongens eerst met het martelen en doden van dieren. Daar zijn ook foto's van. Dat verveelde al snel, waarna ze vervolgens begonnen met hun moorden. 4 maanden later werden ze opgepakt.

On April 5, 2011, two youths, Artem Anоufriev (Russian: Артем Ануфриев) (born in 1992) and Nikita Lytkin (Russian: Никита Лыткин) (born in 1993) were arrested in connection with a series of six murders and attacks on local residents in Akademgorodok in Irkutsk, Russia. The attacks, which involved a mallet and knife, began in December 2010. Both of them were arrested after a video recording showing the dead body of a female being mutilated with a knife was found on a camera belonging to Litkin's uncle, who had become suspicious. According to media reports, the youths had been influenced by reading about the Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs on the Internet.

quote:

In Ridgway's mind, he even believed that he was helping the police out, as he admitted in one interview with investigators.

"I thought I was doing you guys a favor, killing prostitutes," he said. "Here you guys can't control them, but I can."

Prostitutes were an infestation, a sickly disease to which Ridgway thought he had the cure. So he "cured" young women of what he saw as their pathetic and undeserving lives. Not everyone he killed was a prostitute, but in his mind, they all deserved what they got.

Richard Kuklinski
Richard Kuklinski (11 april 1935 - 5 maart 2006) was een huurmoordenaar met een gedragsstoornis die geboren werd in Jersey City, New Jersey. Hij werd als kind mishandeld en vermoordde katten en honden als tijdverdrijf en als middel om zijn woede kwijt te kunnen.

Jeugd
Als zestienjarige moest Kuklinski op straat voor zichzelf zorgen. Hij werd een straatvechter (waarbij zijn kolossale postuur hem goed van pas kwam), en bij een gelegenheid sloeg hij met een pijp zes belagers van zich af en bijna dood. Als zeventienjarige pleegde hij zijn eerste moord.
Kuklinski beweert met gangster Roy Demeo van de New Yorkse Gambino-misdaadfamilie te hebben samengewerkt, hoewel er geen enkele getuige is die zich hem kan herinneren.

Curriculum vitae
Gedurende de volgende dertig jaar bracht Kuklinski veel van zijn, volgens eigen zeggen, 200 slachtoffers om door gebruik van cyaankali. Maar ook gebruikte Kuklinski pistolen, messen, dolken, kettingzagen, kruisbogen en kleingoed als handwapens en boksbeugels.
Na alle moorden heeft Kuklinski al zijn vrienden vermoord omdat hij niet meer wist wie hij kon vertrouwen, toen één vriend in de wetenschap gesteld was dat Kuklinski achter hem aan zat heeft hij zijn familie met de dood bedreigd. Kuklinski was razend en schoot de man met een pistool neer. Hij werd met vijf schoten in zijn lichaam in de auto achtergelaten.

In de openbaarheid
Kuklinski's familie en buren hadden geen idee van zijn bestaan. Iedereen meende dat hij een succesvol zakenman was die goed zorgde voor zijn gezin, en die aardig wat geld in de kas bracht. In 1986 werd hij gearresteerd. Vrijwel de gehele zaak was gebaseerd op de getuigenis van één undercoveragent. In 1998 werd Kuklinski veroordeeld tot tweemaal levenslang.
Hij stierf een natuurlijke dood op 5 maart 2006.

In de media
Philip Carlo bracht in 2007 het boek The Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer uit, waarin hij verslag probeert te doen van Kuklinksi's vermeende misdaden en methodes. De beweringen in dit boek zijn zeer omstreden.
Een van de grotere maffia-kenners van de Verenigde Staten, Jerry Capeci, noemt Kuklinski naar aanleiding van dit boek de Forrest Gump van de georganiseerde misdaad. Kuklinski beweert namelijk deelgenomen te hebben aan zo ongeveer alle belangrijke maffia-executies van de laatste twintig jaar. En dit terwijl er behalve Kuklinski zelf geen enkele getuige is die hem zelfs maar linkt met de maffia, laat staan met de moorden op onder meer Carmine Galante, Paul Castellanno en Jimmy Hoffa zoals hijzelf beweert, hetgeen zijn geloofwaardigheid nogal ondermijnt. Het grootse gedeelte van het boek lijkt ontsproten te zijn aan ofwel de fantasie van Kuklinski, ofwel aan die van Carlo.
