Jeffrey dmer met his death this morning while working as a janitor cleaning a prison bathroom welcome to watch Mojo and today we’re examining famous killers who themselves were killed Behind Bars the beating was so Savage 89-year-old buer was unrecognizable when his body was found Nikolai radich a Russian serial killer from the early 20th century Nikolai ratkevich began his spree after being expelled by the Cadet Corps this was not a good time to be disgraced and out of work in Russia the economic conditions in the country were not good wanting to purge the world of what he considered depraved and immoral women radich killed three sex workers between June and September of 1909 he was finally apprehended on September 17th immediately after killing his third and final victim in a hotel he called for the Dorman to stop him and along with other staff the dman managed to wrestle Nicoli radkovich to the ground he was sentenced to 8 years in the Katara a Russian form of punishment in which prisoners were sent off to Siberia to perform forced labor radich spent four years in these brutal conditions before he was killed by fellow inmates John hairro Moreno Torres known as Johnny the leper from a childhood injury Colombian killer Jiro Moreno Torres caused trouble from a young age he dropped out of school at 13 and joined the most feared gang in Bogata selling drugs and committing a number of violent crimes he officially killed four people throughout his time as the gang’s leader but it’s believed that he may have murdered up to 20 he also committed a number of assaults before he was apprehended in February 1998 still just a teenager he was sent to bot’s Lam Modelo prison and was violently executed by other prisoners who shot Torres 12 times with a smuggled firearm Colin hatch called both highly dangerous and a menace to the public Colin hatch was sentenced to life back in 1994 for committing an unspeakable crime when he was jailed in 1994 Colin hatch was told he was so dangerous it would never be safe to release him and he would die in prison hatch had a history of similar behavior and was sent to a maximum facility in Yorkshire called hm prison full Sutton he remained in the prison for almost two decades but his life was cut short in February of 2011 in what prison officials called quote an accident hatch was ambushed by another inmate named Damen folks who had a history of attacking prisoners involved with a certain type of crime at his trial Colin hatch had said he’d be a dead man if he was sent to prison and so it proved humberside police are now questioning 35-year-old fellow prisoner Damian folks in connection with his death Ian Huntley another prominent victim of folks survived his attack hatch was not so lucky and he died from the injuries that folks had caused enria Marti known by creepy names like the vampire of Barcelona enria Marti was a Spanish serial killer who is thought to have murdered 12 victims in the early 1900s there had been reports that children had gone missing from some of Barcelona’s poor neighborhoods and it was alleged that enria was involved in taking these children and without remorse unfortunately the records of these crimes are quite scarce owing to both the time period and the economic situation of her victims leading some to question marti’s guilt adding to the general confusion is the lack of a trial Marti was arrested and held in the Rena Amalia jail but was killed before her trial could begin the official story is that Marti was attacked by her fellow inmates in public public L hanged on the Jail’s patio she was buried in a mass grave on the outskirts of Barcelona and took most of the names of the victims and her clients with her Billy Shamir throughout the late 2010s Texas Man Billy Shamir would pose as a maintenance man and break into the homes of elderly women he would then attack the women while they were alone and smother them with a pillow at a press conference yesterday family members of the victim Shamir was charged with killing gathered to truly share their reactions while Shamir Meir was officially convicted of two deaths police believe he’s responsible for dozens of murders around the Greater Dallas area he was convicted of the deaths of luy Harris and Mary Brooks resulting in two life sentences in the HH Coffield Unit of Texas while inside Shamir made some inappropriate comments about the family of a cellmate and was subsequently beaten to death and possibly even stabbed with a pen this morning there’s a lot of comments and I’ve been reading through them all morning long and and let’s just be honest there’s none that are really appropriate to air on television this morning let’s just say he won’t be missed Robert Liberty in 1966 Robert Liberty attempted to take his own life but failed and was placed in the Orange County Medical Center there he met 31-year-old Marcela Landis and the two entered a relationship soon after Liberty strangled Landis to death with a stocking he was declared legally insane and placed in a state hospital until 1969 when he was deemed fit to re-enter Society he soon killed two more people his roommate Thomas asterina and Robert Iran a nurse who worked at the state hospital Liberty was arrested again following an FBI Manhunt and once again pleaded Not Guilty by reason of insanity but before his trial could take place Liberty was strangled and killed by a cellmate named Timothy Dudley Robert Simon known as Mudman by his peers Robert Simon was a member of the Philadelphia based warlocks motorcycle club an outlaw club with a reputation for violence fire a knife answer him even by their standards Simon was known as a dangerous Renegade and was supposedly made the club’s enforcer owing to his history of Reckless violence aside from committing armed robbery and arson Simon is also known to have killed two people his teenage girlfriend Beth Smith dusenberg and a New Jersey police officer named iito Gonzalez who had pulled Simon over during a routine traffic stop immediately following the shooting both Mudman and Staples tried fleeing the scene but were’re soon pursued by nearby police officers who had heard the two gunshots on Sergeant Gonzalez’s radio request for backup the killing of Gonzalez sent Simon to New Jersey state prison where he was beaten to death by cellmate Ambrose Harris while awaiting execution Leslie Bailey some crimes are so horrible that the people who commit them have to be segregated in prison um although of course we all knew that these things went on and they existed but the degree and and the amount involved surprised us all that was the case with English serial killer Leslie Bailey who was a rule 43 inmate at Whitmore prison this meant that Bailey had to be separated from the rest of the prison population as officials feared that he would be attacked the rule stems from Bailey’s past as he was linked to various unspeakable crimes including the deaths of three individuals in my profession as a police officer we’re in the business of obtaining confessions from people um but I could honestly say I don’t really know if I’d ever want to hear another conf profession again if it was in those circumstances Bailey was known to roam with a gang of criminals and police believe that they were guilty of even more crimes and deaths regardless Justice came for Bailey despite his position in prison in October of 1993 biley was found strangled to death in his cell Edwin caat with most of his victims being elderly women Florida man Edwin caat earned the moniker the granny killer Edwin who was nicknamed Mike by family members was said to be intelligent and loved reading books but he was also known to be a very violent and easily angered bully who would go after those smaller and weaker than himself cat’s first victim was a 27-year-old man named Lee buay who had been beaten over the head with a pipe he then killed a number of elderly individuals throughout 1993 often committing arson in the process and staging their deaths as accidents an anonymous individual phoned the police and told them to look into caat who had previously been jailed for the death of bugay his fingerprints were found at one of the crime scenes and caat was arrested and sentenced to death throughout both trials Edwin kaprat was uninterested in the proceedings and was supposedly reading a book the entire time but on April 19th 1995 caat got into a fight with fellow inmates Mario Lara and rigoberto Sanchez Velasco and was fatally stabbed Carl Williams a prominent drug trafficker Carl Williams was a powerful figure in the Australian underworld he got bigger and bigger I just and greedier and greedier uh as they tend to

following years more life sentences were added to this as further evidence of his other murders was discovered on February 28th 20121 while at The Mule Creek State Prison in California the I5 Strangler was strangled to death by his cellmate Jason budro who reportedly did it in retribution for his crimes shock from victims families tonight guys those who are directly impacted by Roger Kibby

am he was sentenced to four consecutive life terms but only served about 4 years before he was put out of his Misery by another inmate at the Central Correctional Institution in South Carolina part of him wanted to be called I think another part of him enjoyed the publicity he would get up every morning and go down to a local cafe and and get copies of all the papers and read and talk about the Strangler Charles Schmid National media pounced including Playboy and Life Magazine all to see the man the murderer with a personality bigger than life the pi Piper of Tucson Charles Schmid was a serial killer who claimed the lives of three young ladies in the 1960s Schmid was known for hanging out with with a group of teenagers in the Tucson area and when he wanted to know what taking a life would feel like he sought his victims within that group it was May 31st 1964 when Schmid decided to fulfill a longtime desire to see what it would feel like to kill in the end it was one of those same friends who was instrumental in helping the police build a winning case against him Richie Bruns got probation was sent to Ohio so he was so jittery he called his father and told him all about what he

America James Whitey Bulger was an Infamous mob B who controlled the winterhill gang in Somerville Massachusetts he also worked as an FBI informant for many years which unsurprisingly did not make him many friends among his criminal Associates Bulger lived as a fugitive for 17 years but was finally arrested in 2011 and handed two consecutive life sentences for his notorious crimes including murder Whitey Bulger was found guilty on 31 counts including both racketeering charges and was found to have been involved in 11 murders he bounced around multiple prisons before being sent to the United States penitentiary in Hazelton West Virginia on October 29th 2018 in less than 24 hours buer was ambushed by several inmates and left for dead in an unrecognizable State investigative reporter Eric rasmason found out Boulder is the third prisoner killed at that facility just this year Donald Harvey while working as a hospital orderly in Ohio and Kentucky Donald Harvey was responsible for the deaths of a self-proclaimed 87 people he was quite bizarre and on certain levels raised some doubts as to whether not this guy was reciting some sort of fantasy Harvey employed several methods in what he deemed as a mercy killing of his patients including the use of poisons Suffocation and withholding essential medications they do narrow the list to 10 possible victims all died of illnesses that could be a cover for poisons like arsenic a substance found in large quantities at Harvey’s apartment he pleaded guilty to 37 murders to avoid the death penalty and was sentenced to life imprisonment but when you describe yourself as an angel of death chances are you’re bound to get a taste of your own medicine at some point this came in the form of James Elliot a fellow inmate at the Toledo Correctional Institution in Ohio who descended upon Harvey being familiar with his crimes he placed himself in that position I I really don’t have much compassion for him he’s um I said back then and I I’d say today if he ever gotten out he would have continued to kill people Richard lobe I think that the murder said something to people about American society this was seen as a culmination of trends that were dangerous that were immoral Richard L and Nathan Leopold were two extremely intelligent students born to wealthy parents and fantasized about committing the perfect murder wealthy well-educated teenagers who had done it they said for the sheer thrill they found their victim in the young Bobby Franks who paid the ultimate price on May 21st 1924 the two got rid of the body but mistakenly dropped a pair of eyeglasses at the scene which were traced back to Leopold they found that only three pairs of eyelasses with that hinge had been sold in the Chicago District they managed to evade the death penalty and were sentenced to life imprisonment instead but while Leopold maintained a stellar record through his sentence and was eventually granted parole in 1958 Lo’s story took a gruesome turn he met his end at the hands of another prisoner at the Stateville penitentiary in Illinois who viciously attacked him in the shower Albert Del Salvo they were young and old black and white as the number of victims grew police became more and more frustrated 1960s Boston Massachusetts was was terrorized by two criminals one dubbed The Boston Strangler who killed 13 women and the green man who broke into women’s homes and assaulted them the grizzly headline grabbing crimes had some comparing the Boston Strangler to Jack the Ripper as police launched an investigation into the green man’s activities they were pointed towards Albert Dal Salvo whom they arrested and charged with the crimes while in custody delvo confessed to also being The Boston Strangler but due to a lack of physical evidence he was only tried for the Greenman allegations the Salvo was serving a life sentence when he died after being wounded by another inmate in the prison infirmary decades later DNA evidence obtained from one of the victims would prove that delvo was in fact The Boston Strangler it would appear to definitively determine in fact that Albert Dal Salvo was the killer of Mary
