Serial Killers

Part 1 

There was this case going around…a strange one where in the serial killer was entitled ‘Cord Killer’. The person (it was not yet made sure what is the gender of the person) got hold of numbers-(landline numbers) of people, seemed to know the exact time when they were at their homes and then called them up-and while they picked up the receiver, came from behind and strangled the person/persons using the telephone cord of the instrument. This was one way of killing and the other one was –calling up the mobiles of the victims and then coming from behind and strangling using a telephone cord again! The police were clearly baffled and even the detectives were aghast by these series of incidents-one common thing they noted was the victims were all either- beautiful married women or they were rich businessman.

 

So one detective, Miles took the services of me, since they knew that I had a reputation of trying to find a pattern among serial killers-though I never really helped the police with any of this kind of work-apart from helping them to nab a serial thief! However murders are a totally different game.

 

I was actually an IT professional by service and these were nothing but hobbies on my behalf so one day I decided to accompany Miles to the scene of one of the crimes to look for any pattern or clues. As we were looking around for clues Miles received a call on his mobile-it was from an unknown number-he couldn’t even figure it out who he was-I told him to be careful as it might be that the serial killer is somewhere on the scene looking for any intended victim.

 

I told him he might have come across some incriminating evidence against the killer-and he said he had-got hold of one handkerchief which had the initials AS printed on it. When I saw it I realized immediately that it was one that could actually nail the criminal. Just as Miles was telling me, I think I have seen this handkerchief somewhere and that AS sounds familiar- I called him up on his number-I had several spare cell phones with me so that no one could trace it back as to who might be the caller. As he picked up the phone, I slowly crept behind him and with my cord-I strangled him till he was suffocated to death.

 

That day I had killed my 25^th victim and still I roam about scot free J

Motives for crime: - Frustrated with lack of love life and with IT job.

 

Part 2

 

You all must have seen serial killer in movies and read them in books etc but have you ever seen or heard of a serial killer of a kind that I had met quite some days back in the city of Monte.

 

Well I decided to pay a visit to the home of one of my friends Andrew, whom I knew had a strange hobby of collecting insects, reptiles etc. I was aware that when I go to his room he would show his collection to me. And as I entered the room I smelt something putrid emanating from the air-and that seemed to come from a store room. As I ventured there and entered I was shocked to see a huge container that contained bodies of dead creatures piled on top of each other-you name it from frogs to lizards to snakes to flies and mosquitoes and I was wondering how anyone can stand that smell.

 

Just as I was about to leave the room feeling nauseated, Andrew came in holding a dead frog and dropped it into that container-“saying there goes my 50^th”! He said he kills animals especially insects and amphibians and reptiles for fun and that was his 50^th victim.

Have you ever come across someone who kills creatures for fun? Creatures have life and even though his felonies wont put him into imprisonment but doing it for fun seemed like a horrible fad to me.

A fly was buzzing around me and before I had realized it lay dead on the palms of Andrew who exclaimed-“You know what flies are a difficult thing to kill-I have killed around a dozen of them before I could master the art of killing them and now I can do so efficiently-In goes my 51^stvictim! “
