Russia’s most industrious cannibal, Nikolai Dzhurmongaliev is believed to have killed up to 100 women, and served many of them to his dinner guests. Nikolai used at least 47 of his victims to make ethnic dishes for his neighbors in the Russian republic of Kyargyzstan. When arrested, Nikolai pointed out that two women could provide enough delicate meat to keep him going for a week. Nikolai started his cannibal-killer career after bribing his way out of an insane asylum. He believed that women and prostitution were the root of all that was wrong in the world. According to Yuri Dubyagin, an officer of the Interior Ministry Colonel, Nikolai seemed “absolutely normal, but at one point got a taste for female meat.” He describes Nikolai as having the brains of a “lone wolf” and being a very powerful man. “When we arrested him,” said Dubyagin, “he hit me with the force of Jean Claude Van Damme.”
Meningitis is a bacterial disease that infects the blood stream or the lining of the spinal cord and brain. You can catch this disease if you come into direct contact with infected people coughing or sneezing. Some of the symptoms of meningitis include fever, headache, nausea and vomiting, and a stiff neck.
Rape or mutilation most often takes place after the victim of a serial killer has been rendered unconscious, is dying, or is dead. The disorganised serial killer is uncomfortable with any kind of interaction with the victim and prefers a passive and doll-like subject. As Edmund Kemper said of his victims, he needed to “possess them in the way I wanted to; I had to evict them from their human bodies.” Sexual acts committed on the victim often involve the insertion of foreign objects into the body’s orifices (insertional necrophilia). Parts of the body, especially the buttocks and breasts, are sometimes bitten or slashed and stabbed, as are often the thighs, abdomen, and neck. Very often the killer does not complete the sexual act and semen is found on the victim’s clothing or nearby. Sometimes the killer has sex with the victim’s wounds. Parts of the victim’s body might be cut away and missing.
