Murder is a terrible crime. Taking the life of someone else is something that is inhuman. However, even something as awful as murder can be made to be even worse. So, today, I will be talking about the worst murders to ever take place in history. So, let us start the list
#10: Matthew Shepard - Matthew Shepard was a student in highschool, who was a homosexual. However, this lead to him being bullied across the school for being a homosexual. However, two kids, Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson, took it a step too far. The two boys broke into Matthew’s house, tied him up, and began to brutally beat him. After they let, Matthew died from his injuries. This soon lead to hate crime laws where people were not allowed to abuse homosezuals. Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson were arrested and had their names changed some time after
#9: Martha Moxley - Now, this is a very insane one. Her body was found badly beaten and her pants were pulled down, though no signs of sexual assault were found. It was then proven that she was killed her lover, who had beaten her to death with a 6-iron golf club. It was also proven that her lover had beaten her with the golf club so badly, that the golf club actually shattered while he was beating her.
#8: Judith Eva Barsi - Judith was a young child actress in the 1980s. However, her father was experiencing strong depression at this time. In 1988, he had finally snapped, and he shot and killed Judith, along with her mother. After her father had killed both of them, he dragged their bodies into the backyard and burned their bodies, and then he later shot himself in the head.
#7: Michael Verkerke - Now this is a more creepy one. Michael was a nine-year-old boy who was playing with twelve-year-old Jamarion Lawhorn in the park. However, while they were playing, Jamarion stabbed Michael to death right there, then he called the police, telling them that he had stabbed a small boy and that he wanted the police to come and get him, so that they could he could be executed. It was proven that he was having suicidal thoughts when he committed the murder.
#6: Shanda Renee Sharer - Shanda was hanging around a friend of Melinda Loveless, who was getting jealous at seeing this. Finally, Melinda, as well as three of her friends, kidnapped Shanda and they took her to a secluded area, where they began to beat and even sodomize her with a tire iron until she was unconscious. They then took her unconscious body into the woods, where they then burned her alive, which later lead to Melinda’s imprisonment. She is scheduled for parole in 2022.
#5: Sylvia Likens - Now, this is where things get really bad. Sylvia Likens was left with her sitter, Gertrude Baniszewski. However, once her parents were late to get her, Gertrude began to get tired of Sylvia, and soon took her anger out on her by beating her, and abusing her with every chance she got. She soon had her friends beat her as they enjoyed it. This soon lead to Sylvia being beaten to death
#4: Eric Borel - Eric had said that he was tired of life and wanted to end it all. However, he also wanted to kill some people, as he said. He then took a rifle, and killed his father, younger brother, and mother. He then went to his friends house, where they got into an argument, who he then killed. He then proceeded to go on a killing spree and shoot innocent people on the street. Once the police came, he shot himself in the head. He had killed seventeen people, including his family and friend
#3: James Bulger - James was only a four-year-old boy when he was kidnapped. After a week of being missing, his beaten corpse was found. After much investigation, the killers were found to be two ten-year-old boys, Robert Thompson and Jon Venables. They were known as the youngest murders in history, and both later had their names changed.
#2: Kelly Anne Bates - Kelly Anne Bates was kidnapped by her current lover, Patterson Smith, who made her involved in an event that was known as Four Weeks in Hell. Kelly Anne Bates went through different types of torture for four weeks, such as beatings, burnings, broken bones, cuttings, stabbings, and she also had her eyes gouged out. She was then drowned in a bath tube. The police were so horrified by what they saw, that they had to seek therapy afterwards
#1: Elizabeth Short - Now, this is the victim to a case that is very popular, and that case is known as the Black Dahlia Murder. Elizabeth’s body was found in a park in Los Angeles. What the police found was horrifying. Elizabeth Short’s body was beaten, her face was mutilated, and her entire body was severed into two pieces. This was known as the most violent murder in all of Los Angeles’s history. And what makes this murder so much more terrifying than the rest is that the one who committed the Black Dahlia Murder was never found and is still a mystery to this very day.
