Police were called to the scene, where they found the boy lying on her bed, her house in disarray and her corpse shoved in a closet. The boy received the maximum sentence possible for a minor after being convicted of first-degree murder – 6 years incarceration followed by 4 years of “open” custody in which he would be able to come and go from jail. Now 19, the young man begged the court to begin his open custody some 2 years early, a move supported by his mother and probation officer, but opposed by his father, the victim’s son. The judge was having none of it:

“I cannot ignore the seriousness of the offence he committed and his blatant, violently sexual behaviour during it. I truly commend (his) progress and his commitment to change … but (his) interests cannot and does not overshadow the interests of society.”

Doctors report that the boy shared fantasies of raping women who had “humiliated” him with them.

‘Deeply saddened by the deaths of her daughter Annie in 1866 and her young husband in 1881, and seeking solace, Winchester consulted a medium on the advice of a psychic. The medium, who has become known colloquially as the "Boston Medium," told Winchester that she believed there to be a curse upon the Winchester family because the guns they made had taken so many lives. The psychic told Winchester that "thousands of people have died because of it and their spirits are now seeking deep vengeance." The Boston Medium told Winchester that she had to leave her home in New Haven and travel West, where she must "build a home for yourself and for the spirits who have fallen from this terrible weapon, too. You must never stop building the house. If you continue building, you will live forever. But if you stop, then you will die too."

Rite of passage: Often, Shiite boys will begin the ritual of self-flagellation while still quite young. In the southern Lebanese city of Nabatiyeh, a boy makes the ceremonial cut on his forehead to mark Hussein’s death.

Haarmann, also known as Germany’s "Hanover Vampire",  was actually institutionalized at one point during the late 1800s, but he managed to escape.  Eventually he became a homeless vagrant.  Then he learned to butcher meat, which allowed him to have a home and start a business. Having his own place protected his attack on boys.

He would seek wandering waifs in the train station and take them home.  Soon he teamed up with a good-looking male prostitute named Graf who had much better luck.  They’d take the boys to Haarman’s home, feed them, and then Haarman would force them to have sex.  Often those victims would simply vanish.  Once the police caught Haarman in the act and arrested him for molestation.  They had no idea that he’d murdered another boy and had his head sitting there under some newspapers.

Graf and Haarman trapped and killed an estimated 50 young men over a five-year period. They were finally stopped when someone found a sack of skulls and bones in the Leine Canal and turned them into the police.  Since Haarmann lived near the canal and had been arrested before, investigators searched his home, They found clothing from missing boys and saw bloodstains on the walls. Again, they arrested Haarmann and he confessed. 

As he talked, he called his victims "game."  He described how he would grab the boys, sleepy from a large meal, and while sodomizing them would chew through their throat until the head was practically severed from the body.  As he tasted their blood, he achieved orgasm.  He would then cut the flesh from their bodies, consume some of it, and sell the rest on the open market as butchered meat.  The rest of the parts he dumped into the canal.  Armed with grisly evidence for 27 of the murders, investigators ensured Haarmann’s conviction and he was sentenced to die by execution. Moments before the blade fell, Haarmann announced that this was his wedding.
