Happy Halloween!

16th century Transylvanian Blood Countess, Erzebet Báthory, was labelled as the most prolific female serial killer in history in The Guinness World Records. It is believed that she tortured, mutilated and murdered as many as 650 young girls, then bathed in their blood to preserve her youthful beauty. Historians are divided whether she was in fact a sadistic landowner or the victim of an effective smear campaign.

In 1987, Singapore police were informed about a grisly murder that took place three years before. According to the informant, three men had killed a caretaker in an Orchard Road church and dismembered his body. They cooked his remains into a curry, then scooped it into black plastic bags and went about disposing of it across town, in various public trash cans. Did this actually happen, or was it all a sick hoax? Or was it perhaps the perfect murder?

Athens police arrested a local taxi driver, on suspicion of murder. To their surprise, he confessed that it was not his first murder. Between 1987 and 1996, Dimitris Vakrinos murdered five people and attempted to kill another seven. He killed or attacked anyone who crossed him, no matter who they were. Because of his varied methods of murder and the fact that his victims were all different, police were unaware that a serial killer was active in the ancient city.

On a gloomy November afternoon in 1966, 49-year-old Dr Helen Davidson, a beloved GP, was bashed to death in Hodgemoor Wood while birdwatching. Her body was found the following day and as soon as news of her murder hit her hometown the rumour mill began to churn. Who would kill the beloved doctor? Did she stumble across something she shouldn’t have seen? Or was the murder personally motivated – what was at play: jealousy, vengeance perhaps? To this day, the case with more suspects than convictions remains unsolved. It is a true murder mystery, a whodunnit that played out rather more like an Agatha Christie mystery than a real-life crime.
