Non many Asian serial killers. Interesting article.

It’s very hard to find information about Chinese serial killers. There is very little published about them or in the media – even if they are at the pointy end of nasty.

You’re one of the fortunate few who didn’t have trouble with ‘X’, AJ.

I was fortunate with the challenge in that (sadly for the world) there are enough serial killers to easily fill an alphabet!

The only “good” thing about him is the X in his name, so he saved your A-Z challenge 😉
I killed because it’s nothing special? Ouch 🙁
Happy Friday, either way!

His comment shows the total disregard he had for life. Scary!

3 years is such a short time to kill so many people. Well done for finding something for X though!

I think the number of kills in such a short time shows how little he cared for life. And yes, made my A-Z complete.

Bludgeoning…wow. I feel like he must have had a lot of rage. Either that, or no emotion at all. Chilling, that.

I think he must have been a psychopath and therefore had no emotion.

You have to wonder how anyone can take revenge that many times!

His mind must have been a dark place!
