Adelaide Serial Killer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As Adelaide Serial Killer (German: Adelaide serial killer ), the hypothetical serial killer or individual perpetrator in connection with two series of murders in Adelaide is referred to.

On the one hand, seven women were killed there between 1976 and 1979, and on the other hand, five young men were killed between 1979 and 1983.

All of the male victims were genitally mutilated, and some were carefully washed and re-clothed after their death. One of these murders could be proven to a member of an association which named itself after the example of the group around Charles Manson as "Family" and which had been said to have abducted young men.

All other murders are so far unsolved.
