It shocks me that people get outraged at such acts these days, as if this is the only one that has ever happened.

Nah you still get serial killers, Harold Shipman, convicted of 15 murders in 2000, but there is still still debate over his true total, some reckon it could at least double the number he was actually convicted of.

Then there is Peter Tobin sentenced in 2007 for 3 murders, police actually believe his total is in excess of 20. He apparently lay claim to over 40 victims.

Both excede the Ripper and the Moors Murderers. Then there was Fred and Rosemary West, they were stopped in the late 80's with a total of at least 12.
