The most ruthless child killers in history. Children are violent criminals-murderers! (10 photos) Children of the killer maniacs

They say that a big maniac most often grows out of a small one. It is possible that some juvenile delinquents simply lacked parental attention, while others initially perceived their terrible antics as a game. One way or another, but the people who will be discussed later were included in the list of "The youngest criminals."

5. Craig Price

In September 1989, Joan Hilton (aged 39) and her two daughters, eight and ten years old, were found murdered in their own home. The victims were killed very brutally: the mother received 60 and the girls - 30 each.

Finding the killer was easy. It turned out to be 15-year-old Craig Price. There was more than enough evidence against Craig: a hand wounded by a knife, bloody gloves, and on account of this guy there were a couple more crimes committed. Craig Price is in prison to this day. For his monstrous crime, this teenager gets 5th place in the ranking of "The Youngest Criminals".

4. Graham Frederick Young

This English boy was fond of chemistry to fanaticism. Or rather, poisons and their effect on humans. He was also very fond of stories about maniacs, and considered Adolf Hitler his idol. He began experimenting with poison at the age of 14. He possessed a truly natural talent for resourcefulness and acquired various poisons in such a way that no one suspected anything. The victims of his experiments were close people - friends and relatives.

Yang managed to poison his father, stepmother, sister. In 1962 he was arrested. During the investigation, it turned out that Graham is crazy. He spent 9 years (out of 15 awarded) in a psychiatric hospital and came out supposedly healthy. At large, the criminal found work and began to poison his colleagues. After that, he again ended up in places of deprivation of liberty, where he died in 1990. For his "inventiveness" Graham Frederick was ranked fourth in the list of "The youngest criminals."

3. Jessie Pomeroy

Jesse began to commit his terrible deeds from the age of 11. It is worth noting that this boy is the youngest criminal in the United States. He lured his comrades into secluded places and killed them with the most cruel methods. Before he was caught by the police, Pomeroy managed to kill 7 children. The maniac spent 21 years in the colony. After his release, he again took up his old ways and killed 2 children. The court sentenced him to Jesse died in solitary confinement at the age of 72.

2. John Venables and Robert Thomson

Two teenagers took second place - 10-year-old John Venables and Robert Thomson. These very young criminals kidnapped and brutally beaten a 2-year-old boy. To hide the traces of the crime, they decided to throw the child on the railroad tracks. They received 10 years in prison for each.

1. Francois Bertillon

All records were broken by 23-month-old Francois Bertillon. However, his crimes cannot be put on a par with the above. In 1891, the boy was accused of gluttony, as he bit into all the pears in the basket. The guilt of the child was fully proved by his father, who invented the bertillonage. But despite such an insignificant act, it is believed that Francois is the youngest criminal.

And if the last crime causes only a smile, then all the rest inspire only horror and fear.

Some girls dream of getting married so much that sometimes they choose completely inappropriate candidates for their life partners. How else can you explain the marriages of young and beautiful girls with serial killers who ruthlessly killed women and children? Psychologists state: “Such unions speak of low self-esteem or the hope of changing the character of another person with your love.” We remembered the loudest and most scandalous unions of this kind.

Italian passions

23-year-old Serena from Milan to the Khabarovsk Territory. And all for the sake of a loved one, condemned for life. Maxim Kiselev spent 20 of his 36 years of life in prison. He sat down for the brutal murder of six people in the village of Orton, Kemerovo region: a man stabbed to death four men, a woman and a 10-year-old boy. He remembers these events vaguely (if not lying, of course), he says he was very drunk and now regrets only the death of the child. He was sent to prison for the rest of his life.

Maxim's life changed after the Italian director Mark Franchetti arrived in the colony. He made a documentary about the prisoners, which was shown in Italy. Kiselyov suddenly began to write to Italians, who, apparently, felt sorry for the lost Russian soul. Two years ago, he received a letter from 23-year-old Serena Nalana. The girl was ready to support him financially and spiritually. The man was hooked.

“It seemed to me that she had everything that I was looking for in other girls. I felt, no matter how trite it may sound, that she is the other half of my soul. I reread the letters, I look at her photographs, I kiss them. I thought it was some kind of madness, and then I realized that it kind of starts with this ... Well, I don’t know what to call it. Love, - says Maxim.

Serena Nolano is 23 years old, she lives with her parents in the suburbs of Milan and dreams of becoming a famous writer. The girl has already released several books, devoting a chapter in one of them to her Russian killer. Friends and parents are against such a relationship, but the Italian has already decided everything. She left the university and went to work in order to devote her life to Maxim.

This life will look like this: after the wedding, which will take place in a colony under escort, the newlyweds will have a long date instead of a honeymoon - three days, and after Serena will be able to see her husband twice a year for four hours. The girl says that she loves Maxim, not his crimes. The prospects are vague - she has never been to Russia, and Maxim is unlikely to ever be released on parole. Nevertheless, the couple plans a wedding and children.

Born from a maniac

Elena married the Ukrainian maniac Sergei Tkach, who killed more than 40 children. Moreover, the 24-year-old Russian woman was not afraid to give birth to a daughter, Elizabeth, from a 64-year-old prisoner. According to the publication Rep.ru, Weaver was imprisoned in 2008, the investigation then managed to prove 37 murders, the maniac himself claims that he dealt with a hundred girls and girls. His victims are between 9 and 17 years old.

16-year-old Elena fell in love with the defendant maniac when she saw him on TV during the trial. Then she looked for him and for seven years wrote letters to various prisons. Found in Zhytomyr. A correspondence ensued.

The correspondence ended with a date. Elena became pregnant, then they got married, and they had a girl. Their daughter is now six months old, the girl was named Lisa. Half-year-old Lisa is being raised by Elena's parents in Yaroslavl. A granddaughter is not allowed into Zhytomyr. “They are against my husband and I raising our child,” the woman says.

Interestingly, the family is not going to stop at one child - the couple is planning three children: in addition to Elizabeth and Catherine, they want a son, Peter. True, Elena will have to raise these children alone - Tkach was sentenced to four life terms.

Before prison, Sergei Tkach was married twice. His first wife lives in the village and does not want to communicate with journalists. Another - a resident of the Dnieper - also does not comment on the situation. Elena Tkach, agreeing to an interview, explained why she was doing this: her goal is to warn all other women that it is deadly dangerous to approach her lover.

I don't envy the girl who tries to hang out with him. I am very jealous. I will not let anyone near my loved one, even at a distance of a kilometer - whoever it is, she says.

The maniac was arrested only in 2005, 25 years after he committed the first murder. He willingly told the operatives about the murders, remembering exactly the place of each. He strangled and raped his victims in a perverted form. Sergey Tkach did not leave marks on the bodies of his victims: he took off their clothes and shoes, which could have his fingerprints on them, carefully destroyed the evidence - he did not leave cigarette butts and scraps at the crime scene and trampled down the traces. But the last time I got it.

The bride of the "Bitz maniac"

"Bitsevsky maniac", by his own admission, killed 60 people, although the investigation proved "only" 48 episodes. Alexander Pichushkin first killed homeless people and alcoholics who were supposedly unworthy of life, and then switched to random passers-by.

He soldered his first victims with vodka and, unconscious, threw them into the sewers, where people drowned. Then he began to kill people with a blow to the head with a hammer. In 2007, Alexander Pichushkin was recognized as partially sane and sentenced to life imprisonment with a mandatory course of psychiatric treatment at the place of residence. One could forget about this killer, but suddenly the story got its continuation.

Natalya appeared in the life of a maniac, who was obsessed with the stories of maniacs. By her own admission, she knew Chikatilo's biography by heart. In high school, the girl began to write letters to prisons. According to her, she was very interested to know how these people think and feel. Then it became more interesting for her to communicate with maniacs. After the divorce, she saw a film about Pichushkin on TV. For two years she was looking for the address of his colony.

For about three years they corresponded, and suddenly Natalya realized that she had fallen in love with the killer, and confessed her feelings to him. In response, the maniac proposed to her, but the wedding did not end there. The maniac was never allowed to meet, and soon letters from Natalya stopped coming. Pichushkin himself claimed that it was all about the administration of the colony, which obstructs loving hearts: after all, Natalya starred in a television program and announced to the whole country her love for a maniac, as well as her desire to marry him.

Bride of Charles Manson

Charles Manson, the leader of the Family sect, whose members committed a number of brutal murders (including the murder of actress Sharon Tate, wife of Roman Polanski, who at that moment was nine months pregnant), was sentenced to life imprisonment. It would seem that all of America should have hated the tough killer, but instead, fans began to write letters to the maniac.

One of them, 26-year-old Afton Burton, even announced the upcoming wedding. Manson himself called this statement outrageous nonsense, and then unexpectedly agreed to the marriage. The wedding never took place. According to Manson, he became aware that his future wife plans to place him in a glass sarcophagus in order to earn money in this way.

Nylon Killer's Wife

The exact number of victims of the killer, rapist, cannibal and necrophile Ted Bundy is unknown - the figure ranges from 26 to 100 (the maniac himself confessed to 30 murders). He operated from 1974 to 1978. His deeds kept the entire east coast of the United States in fear. The trial of the criminal was broadcast on television throughout the country, and the process itself was covered by journalists from all over the world.

Carol Ann Boone, a former colleague of Bundy and a single mother, was not one of those who wanted to deal with a maniac. She began dating Bundy about a year before he was arrested and knew nothing about the murders. But even when the whole world found out about Bundy and the killer was sentenced to death, the woman did not leave him. Shortly before the final announcement of the death warrant, Bundy and Carol Ann declared themselves man and wife in the courtroom (there was no official ceremony).

December 17, 2011, 05:43 pm

The crimes committed by these "children" are cruel and terrible. When a person who has not reached the age of majority commits such atrocities, the blood runs cold. Children..flowers of life..I present to you the 10 most cruel children in the world: Alice Bustamant 15-year-old girl killed her younger neighbor and hid the corpse. Alice Bustamant planned the murder, choosing the right time, and on October 21, 2009, she attacked a neighbor girl, began to choke her, slit her throat and stabbed her. The police sergeant who interrogated the juvenile killer after the disappearance of 9-year-old Elizabeth said that Bustamant confessed where she hid the body of the murdered fourth-grader and took the police to the wooded area where the body was located. She stated that she wanted to know how the killers feel.
John Venables and Robert Thompson 17 years ago, John Venables and his friend, the same scum as Venables, but only named Robert Thompson, were sentenced to life in prison, despite the fact that at the time of the murder they were ten years old. Their crime caused shock throughout Britain. In 1993, Venables and Thompson stole a two-year-old boy from a Liverpool supermarket, the same James Bulger, where he was with his mother, dragged him onto the railway, brutally beat him with sticks, doused him with paint and left him to die on the rails, hoping that the kid would be run over by the train and his death will be taken as an accident.
George Junius Stinney Jr. Although there was a lot of political and racial distrust surrounding this case, most agreed that this Stinney guy was guilty of killing two girls. It was 1944, Stinney was 14, he killed two girls aged 11 and 8 and threw their bodies into a ravine. He apparently wanted to rape the 11-year-old, but the youngest interfered with him, and he decided to get rid of her. Both girls resisted, he beat them with a club. He was charged with first-degree murder, found guilty, and was sentenced to death. The sentence was carried out in the state of South Carolina.
Barry Loukatis In 1996, Barry Loukatis put on his best cowboy outfit and went to his class's algebra class. Most of his classmates found Barry's costume ridiculous, and himself even weirder than usual. They didn't know what this suit was hiding, but there were two pistols, a rifle and 78 rounds of ammunition. He opened fire, his first victim was 14-year-old Manuel Vela. A few seconds later, several more people fell victim to it. He began to take hostages, but made one tactical mistake, he allowed the wounded to be taken away, at the moment when he was distracted, the teacher grabbed his rifle from him. Kipland Kinkel On May 20, 1998, Kinkel was expelled from school for trying to buy stolen weapons from a classmate. He confessed to the crime and was released from the police. At home, his father told him that he would have been sent to a boarding school if he had not cooperated with the police. At 3:30 p.m., Kip pulled out his rifle hidden in his parents' room, loaded it, went into the kitchen, and shot his father dead. At 18:00 the mother returned. Kinkel told her that he loved her and shot her - twice in the back of the head, three times in the face and once in the heart. He later claimed that he wanted to protect his parents from the embarrassment they might have because of his problems with the law. Kinkel put his mother's body in the garage and his father's body in the bathroom. All night he listened to the same song from the movie Romeo and Juliet. On May 21, 1998, Kinkel arrived at school in his mother's Ford. He put on a long waterproof coat to hide his weapons: a hunting knife, a rifle and two pistols, as well as cartridges. He killed two students and wounded 24. As he reloaded his pistol, several students managed to disarm him. In November 1999, Kinkel was sentenced to 111 years in prison without the possibility of parole. At the verdict, Kinkel apologized to the court for the murders of his parents and school students.
Joshua Phyllis Joshua Phillips was 14 when his neighbor went missing in 1998. After seven days, his mother began to smell an unpleasant smell coming from under the bed. Under the bed, she found the corpse of a missing girl who had been beaten to death. When she asked her son, he said that he accidentally hit the girl in the eye with a bat, she started screaming, he panicked and began to beat her until she became silent. The jury did not believe his story, he was charged with first-degree murder.
Willy Bosket By the age of 15, in 1978, Willy Bosket had over 2,000 crimes in New York City. He never knew his father, but he knew that the man had been convicted of murder and considered it a "manly" crime. At that time in the United States, according to the criminal code, criminal liability was not provided for minors, so Bosket boldly walked the streets with a knife or a gun in his pocket. Ironically, it was he who set the precedent for revising this provision. Under the new law, children as young as 13 can be tried as adults for excessive cruelty.
Jesse Pomeroy The most famous - or rather infamous - of all the child killers was Jesse Pomeroy (70s of the XIX century, USA, Boston), who occupies about the same place among the child killers that Jack the Ripper among adults. Jesse Pomeroy has become a legendary figure, had he not been caught at the age of 14, he would no doubt have turned into the American equivalent of Peter Kürten. Jesse Pomeroy was a tall, awkward teenager with a cleft lip and an eyesore. He was a sadist and almost certainly a homosexual. In 1871-1872, many parents in Boston were anxious about an unknown youth who seemed to have a savage resentment towards younger children. On December 22, 1871, he tied a boy named Payne to a crossbar and beat him unconscious on Tower Horn Hill. A similar thing happened in February 1872: the young child Tracy Hayden was lured to the same place, stripped naked, beaten unconscious with a rope and struck with a board in the face so hard that they broke his nose and knocked out several teeth. In July, a boy named Johnny Blach was also beaten there. The assailant then dragged him to a nearby bay and washed his wounds with salt water. In September, he tied Robert Gould to a telegraph pole at the Hatford-Erie railway track, beat him and cut him with a knife. Soon three more cases followed one after another, each time the victims were children of seven or eight years old. He lured all the victims to a secluded place, stripped naked, and then stabbed or stabbed with pins. Judging by the descriptions, Jesse Pomeroy's appearance was so unusual that it did not take long to detain him on suspicion of severe beatings. The victim's children identified him. By court order, Jesse Pomeroy was sent to Westboro Correctional School. At that time he was 12 years old. Eighteen months later, in February 1874, he was released and allowed to return home. A month later, ten-year-old Mary Curran disappeared. Four weeks later, on April 22, near Dorchester, a suburb of Boston, they found the mutilated body of a four-year-old girl, Horace Mullen: 41 stab wounds were counted on it, and the head was almost completely cut off from the body. Jesse Pomeroy immediately fell under suspicion. A bloodstained knife was found in his room, and the mud on his boots looked like earth from where the child was found. Jesse Pomeroy confessed to killing the children. Soon after, his mother had to move out of the house - probably because of the scandal. The new tenant decided to expand the basement. Workers digging the dirt floor found the decomposed body of a little girl. Mary Curran's parents identified their daughter by her clothes. Jesse Pomeroy confessed to this murder as well. On December 10, Jesse Pomeroy was sentenced to death by hanging, but the execution of the sentence was postponed due to the young age of the offender - he was 14 years old. The punishment was mitigated - which can be called inhuman to some extent - to life imprisonment in solitary confinement. Later, Jesse Pomeroy made several attempts to escape from prison.
Mary Bell Mary Bell is one of the most "famous" girls in British history. In 1968, at the age of 11, together with her 13-year-old girlfriend Norma, with a break of two months, she strangled two boys, 4 and 3 years old. The press all over the world called this girl a "corrupted seed", a "spawn of the devil" and a "monster child". Mary and Norma lived next door in one of the most disadvantaged areas of Newcastle, in families where large families and poverty habitually coexisted, and where children spent most of their time playing unsupervised in the streets or in dumps. Norma's family had 11 children, Mary's parents had four. Her father pretended to be her uncle so that the family would not lose the allowance for a single mother. “Who wants to work? he was genuinely surprised. “Personally, I don’t need money, just enough for a pint of ale in the evenings.” Mary's mother, a wayward beauty, suffered from mental disorders since childhood - for example, for many years she refused to eat with her family, unless she was put food in a corner under an armchair. Mary was born when her mother was only 17 years old, shortly after an unsuccessful attempt to poison herself with pills. Four years later, the mother tried to poison her own daughter as well. Relatives took an active part in the fate of the child, but the survival instinct taught the girl the art of building a wall between herself and the outside world. This feature of Mary, along with violent fantasy, cruelty, as well as an outstanding non-childish mind, was noted by everyone who knew her. The girl never allowed herself to be kissed or hugged, she tore to shreds the ribbons and dresses given by her aunts. At night, she moaned in her sleep, jumped up a hundred times, because she was afraid to urinate. She loved to fantasize, talking about her uncle's horse farm and the beautiful black stallion she supposedly owned. She said she wanted to become a nun because the nuns are "good". And I read the Bible all the time. She had five of them. In one of the Bibles, she pasted a list of all her deceased relatives, their addresses and dates of death ...

The blood in the veins freezes and goosebumps at the mere mention of serial maniacs and murderers. But the worst thing is when the killers are children. We can’t even imagine what drives them… why so much cruelty and ruthlessness in such young creatures?!

wuzzup presents to your attention the 15 most cruel child killers!

1. Mary Bell (May 26, 1957)

Mary Bal is one of the most "famous" girls in British history. In 1968, at the age of 11, together with her 13-year-old girlfriend Norma, with a break of two months, she strangled two boys, 4 and 3 years old. Brian Howe (age 3) was found dead under a mountain of weeds and grass just days after the death of Martin Brown (age 4). His hair was cut, puncture marks were found on his thighs, and his genitals were partially cut off. In addition to these mutilations, there was a mark in the form of the letter "M" on his stomach. When the investigation came to Mary Bell, she gave herself away, describing in detail a pair of broken scissors - which is irrefutable evidence, which, according to the girl, Brian played with.

Family background may be responsible for Mary's unusual behavior. For a long time she thought she was the daughter of a common criminal, Billy Bell, but to this day her real biological father is unknown. Mary claimed that her mother, Betty, who was a prostitute, forced her to engage in sexual intercourse with men - especially her mother's clients - from the age of 4.

The trial ended and it became clear that she was too young for prison, but also dangerous for incarceration in a psychiatric hospital or an institution where troubled children are kept. During the trial, Mary's mother repeatedly sold Mary's story to the press. The girl was only 11 years old. She was released after 23 years. Now she lives under a different name and surname. This case is well known as the Mary Bell Case.

2. John Venables (August 13, 1982) and 3. Robert Thompson (August 23, 1982)

Both were sentenced to life in prison, despite the fact that at the time of the murder they were only ten years old. Their crime caused shock throughout Britain. On February 12, 1993, the mother of two-year-old James Bulger left her son at the door of the butcher's shop, thinking it wouldn't take her long to get back, as there was no queue at the store. She didn't think it was the last time she saw her son... John and Robert were outside the same store, going about their usual business: robbing people, stealing from stores, stealing things when the salespeople turned their backs on them, climbing onto chairs in restaurants while they were not kicked out. The guys had an idea to kidnap the boy, so that later they could make it look like he was lost. (pictured is John Venables).

John and Robert forcibly dragged the boy onto the railroad track, where they threw paint at him, brutally beat him with sticks, bricks and an iron rod, threw stones at him, and also sexually abused the little boy, and then laid his body on the railroad tracks, hoping that the baby would be run over the train and his death will be taken as an accident. James only died after being run over by a train.

4. Alice Bustamant (January 28, 1994)

A 15-year-old girl killed her younger neighbor and hid the corpse. Alice Bustamant planned the murder, choosing the right time, and on October 21 she attacked a neighbor girl, began to choke her, cut her throat and stabbed her. The police sergeant who interrogated the juvenile killer after the disappearance of 9-year-old Elizabeth said that Bustamant confessed where she hid the body of the murdered fourth-grader and took the police to the wooded area where the body was located. She stated that she wanted to know how the killers feel.

5. George Junius Stinney Jr. (October 21, 1929 - June 16, 1944)

On June 16, 1944, the United States of America set a record by legally executing the youngest boy named George Stinney, who was 14 at the time of his execution. George was convicted of killing two girls, eleven-year-old Betty June Binniker and eight-year-old Mary Emma Tames, whose bodies were found in a ravine. The girls had severe skull injuries received with a rail crutch, which was later found near the city. George confessed to the crime, as well as to the fact that he initially tried to have sex with Betty, but in the end everything turned out to be murder. George was charged with first-degree murder, found guilty, and was sentenced to death in the electric chair. The sentence was carried out in the state of South Carolina.

6. Kipland "Kip" Kinkel (August 30, 1982)

On May 20, 1998, Kinkel was expelled from school for trying to buy stolen weapons from a classmate. He confessed to the crime and was released from the police. At home, his father told him that he would have been sent to a boarding school if he had not cooperated with the police. At 3:30 p.m., Kip pulled out his rifle hidden in his parents' room, loaded it, went into the kitchen, and shot his father dead. At 18:00 the mother returned. Kinkel told her that he loved her and shot her - twice in the back of the head, three times in the face and once in the heart. He later claimed that he wanted to protect his parents from the embarrassment they might have because of his problems with the law.

On May 21, 1998, Kinkel drove to school in his mother's Ford. He put on a long waterproof coat to hide his weapons: a hunting knife, a rifle and two pistols, as well as cartridges. He killed two students and wounded 24. As he reloaded his pistol, several students managed to disarm him. In November 1999, Kinkel was sentenced to 111 years in prison without the possibility of parole. At the verdict, Kinkel apologized to the court for the murders of his parents and students of the school.

7. Cindy Collier and Shirley Wolfe

In 1983, Cindy Collier and Shirley Wolf began looking for victims for their entertainment. Usually it was vandalism or car theft, but once the girls showed how crazy they really were. Once they knocked on the door of an unfamiliar house, an elderly woman opened it for them. Seeing two young girls of 14-15 years old, the old woman let them into the house without hesitation, hoping for an interesting conversation over a cup of tea, and she got it - the girls chatted with the cute old woman for a long time, entertaining her with interesting stories. Shirley grabbed the old woman by the neck and held her while Cindy went to the kitchen to get the knife to give to Shirley. After receiving the knife, Shirley stabbed the old woman 28 times. The girls fled the scene but were soon arrested.
