- Synopsis:
The definition of a serial killer is a person who commits more than three murders, luring victims to their death, they act out extreme sadistic urges, and lack any ability to empathise with the suffering of their victims. Why do these killers commit these heinous crimes? What is it that has made them act this way? Are they Born to Kill?
Jeffrey DahmerJeffrey Dahmer was a homosexual sexual deviant who raped, murdered and ate parts of 17 victims. Like other killers such as John Wayne Gacy, he managed to elude capture while continuing to carry out his crimes. Like every other sociopath serial killer in history he believed himself to be completely justified in his actions. Why does a Jeffrey Dahmer happen? How does a man become a serial killer, necrophiliac, cannibal and psychopath? Many of the theories would have you believe that the answers can always be found in childhood abuse, bad parenting, head trauma, foetal alcoholism and drug addiction. Perhaps in some cases these are contributing factors, but not for Jeffrey Dahmer...

Two black Americans. John Allen Muhammad, 42, a veteran of the Gulf War in 1991, and his stepson John Lee Malvo. 17. were convicted in 2004 of being the 'Washington sniper', who has been terrorizing America over a period of three weeks. Police found a gun in the suspects car - the criminals had supposedly shot it 13 times. Ten innocent people were killed, and three were wounded. Police also found a scope and a tripod. The criminals probably shot the victims without even leaving the car, as it has an opening in the trunk that allows people to lie hidden and shoot the victims. Experts unanimously agreed that it was John Allen Muhammad who was the force of the criminal tandem. What were the motives of these men, and was one 'guiltier than the other? Psychologists suppose that John Allen Muhammad is non compos mentis, but find it difficult to explain why the stepson acted in the same way...

They were surrounded by guns amidst an ethos of lawlessness and unbreakable family loyalty. Did he kill alone?
