5 Of The Most Horrific Serial Killers Released From Prison (pictures)
1. Nikolai Dzhumagaliev
Nikolai Dzhumagaliev is a serial killer and cannibal. He is thought to have killed at least 7 women, between the years 1979-1980. Dzhumagaliev also goes by the name “Metal Fang,” because of his white
metal teeth. Dzhumagaliev’s first kill was a young peasant woman. He slit her throat and then proceeded to eat her for the next month.
Dzhumagaliev killed five more women before being arrested for accidentally shooting one of his
colleagues. However, he was diagnosed with
schizophrenia and was only sentenced to less than a year in a mental institution. When he was released, he committed three more murders.
2. Mary Bell
Mary Bell became infamous when she killed two young boys in cold blood, just one day before her eleventh birthday. The first kill was a four-year-old boy named Martin Brown. Bell is believed to have committed this murder on her own. Mary Bell strangled the young boy in an abandoned house. Bell’s second victim was a three-year-old boy named
Brian Howe. Mary Bell strangled this boy as well, but this time, she had help from her thirteen-year-old friend, Norma Joyce Bell. The pair took this murder a
step further. They carved an N in the boy’s chest that was later changed to an M, they cut some of the young boy’s hair off, and they mutilated his genitals.
3. Karla Homolka
Karla Homolka is a convicted Canadian serial killer who participated in the rape and murder of at least three women with her husband Paul Bernardo. The couple’s first victim was Karla’s younger sister Tammy. Paul had become obsessed with Tammy, so
Karla decided it was a good idea to offer her sister to her future husband. Karla would drug her younger sister and allow Paul to rape her while she was unconscious. Sadly in December 1990, Tammy
choked on her own vomit and died after Karla had drugged her with an animal tranquilizer. Karla and Paul continued their murderous tendencies at least two more times. When the pair was finally captured, Karla managed to convince prosecutors that she was
a victim in everything and got a reduced prison sentence of twelve years, while Paul received life in prison. Later on, videotapes were released of the
couple’s crimes showing that Karla was a willing participant. Karla was released on July 4, 2005. She now goes by the name Leanne Bordelais and lives in
Guadalupe with her husband and three children.
4. Pedro Lopez
Pedro Lopez is “The Monster of the Andes,” who is thought to have killed over three hundred young girls across South America. When he was young, Lopez was incarcerated for stealing cars. After he was released, he started preying on young girls. By 1978,
Lopez claimed that he had killed over 100 girls in Columbia. After that, he moved to Ecuador where he
began killing about three girls a week. Lopez was arrested after a failed abduction and confessed to
over three hundred murders. However, the police only believed his unlikely story when a flash flood uncovered a mass grave that contained many of his victims. He was arrested in 1980 by the government
in Ecuador, only to be released eighteen years later. Then just an hour after that, he was re-arrested by the Columbian government, where he was committed to a hospital and freed three years later
5. Louis Van Schoor
Louis Van Schoor, a security guard and ex-policeman, is believed to have killed more than 39 people in just a few short years. Van Schoor’s mode of operation was to respond to silent alarms at business premises and shoot the intruders with his 9mm pistol. Van
Shoor explained the deaths of the burglars by saying he was only doing his job. Most of his victims were black men, leaving many to the conclusion that his killings had something to do with race, although Van
Shoor adamantly denies this. Eventually, police began to see that Von Shoor was doing a little more than his job entailed and arrested him for murder. He was charged with seven murders and two attempted
murders, and sentenced to 20 years in jail. However, Van Schoor was released on parole after serving just
twelve years of his twenty-year sentence.
6. Bartolomeo Gagliano
Although Gagliano is currently serving his time, he makes an important addition to this list because he managed to escape from custody, a grand total of six
times. In 1981, Gagliano was sent to a criminal psychiatric ward for stoning one prostitute to death and injuring another. However, Gagliano managed to
escape in 1989 and committed two more murders. When he was caught, the infamous killer was sent back for psychiatric treatment. After Gagliano’s
escape, he was granted a two-day good behavior pass to see his sick mother. When Gagliano failed to return after his two days of freedom were up, a country-wide manhunt was started. Eventually the
killer was re-captured, but not before shooting hisgirlfriend in the chin.
