compulsion to kill returned a month later, grabbing Kimberly Leach from a playground, raping and murdering her, before dumping her body in Suwannee State Park. She was just twelve years old. Such boundless evil had to be stopped and three days later he was pulled over in a stolen Beetle in Pensacola. Following a scuffle with the officer, Bundy was was finally subdued and transported back to Tallahassee to face charges.
T HE T RIALS OF T ED B UNDY
Unable to escape justice for a third time, Bundy now faced a series of trials beginning with the Chi Omega murder case in Florida. In front of television cameras, he played the starring role, cross-examining witnesses as he defended himself once again. However, using eyewitness testimony and matching the bite marks on Lisa Levy’s buttock to his teeth via a mold, the prosecution made an irrefutable case for conviction.
Sentenced to death for both murders, Bundy attended his second trial in Orlando for his crimes against Kimberly Leach, using the court to legally marry Carole Boone. As a fitting wedding present, the judge and jury gave the groom the death penalty. After endless appeals in an attempt to forestall his state-ordered demise, his execution was set for 24 January 1989.
The penultimate night of his life Bundy granted an interview to psychologist Dr James Dobson in which he declared pornography helped to make him the killer he became. Whether a predilection for adult material can be blamed for his actions, which included the decapitation of heads and sex with decomposing corpses, is highly debatable. What is certain is that Ted Bundy will kill no more executed, as he was, at around 7am in the electric chair.
PART TWO: SERIAL KILLERS
Andrei Chikatilo
As the death rattle of a dying Soviet Union sounded across the globe, one of its Communist faithful was fulfilling his necro-sadistic desires, mutilating and murdering over fifty citizens to become Russia’s premier serial killer.
N OT L IKE O THER C HILDREN
On 16 October 1936, in the rural Ukrainian village of Yablochnoye, Andrei Romanovich Chikatilo was born into crippling poverty. Stalinist rule had ensured his family – along with millions of Russian citizens – suffered under the cruel agricultural policy of collectivism which saw all crops handed over to the state. Starvation swept across large stretches of the Soviet Union and the Chikatilos grew up on a diet of leaves and grass to keep death from their door.
While his father fought in the war with the Red Army, his mother kept their son in a state of fear, telling him scare stories of an older brother devoured by neighbours to sate their hunger. With traumatising tales of famine-induced cannibalism and the regular sight of corpses littering the poverty-stricken streets it was no wonder little Andrei developed into an abnormal human being. He would wet his bed until the age of twelve.
In 1949 his father returned from the war. Having languished inside a Nazi concentration camp, he suffered the indignity of being branded a traitor by his own people. This deeply affected Andrei who was similarly vilified at school, mocked by his fellow pupils. Despite this sorrow he devoted his teens to the Communist ideal, joining the Youth League.
Here he soon realised he was not like others his own age. Preferring the company of younger children, he brought further ridicule on himself when he groped a young girl, ejaculating during the molestation. Rumour quickly spread of his impotence which would become a driving force behind his later crimes.

Finishing school, Andrei desperately wanted away from his home country and focused on attaining a law degree at Moscow State University. Sadly, he failed the entrance exam and, following a spell of national service, moved to Rodionovo-Nesvetayevksy near Rostov in 1960 to work as a telephone engineer. The sixties seemed to bring balance to Chikatilo’s life. He
