Lust For Killing




Pre-meditated serial murder is the choice of very few, but is it really a choice ? Is all the murderers are aware of what they are doing ? This is the question !  Some researchers have suggested that criminal behaviour and the act of serial murder could in fact be a result of addictive thinking,  in addition to the substances  addicted like alcohol and drugs.

As a society, we assume individuals who commit brutal murders must be insane, mentally ill that even they are not fully control of their actions and that they need help.This however is not always the case. There are many examples of individuals and couples who have chosen to kill, often repeatedly, because they wanted to, like Ted Bundy an American serial killer and rapist he was one of the most notorious criminals of the late 20th century, Karla Homolka a Canadian serial killer and her husband  Paul Bernardo who raped and killed at least three young women. 

Addictive Thinking And Crimes:


Repeated criminal offences may be due to finding the feelings and emotions gained from this behaviour addictive, and therefore repeatedly returning to this pattern. Moreover, those who tried to set a battle against alcohols and carving to resist them are susceptible to commit such crimes. Also, Abusers of substances often appear to show little interest in the consequences of their abuse as they are too caught up by the effect of the substance.  

Furthermore for some, even though they are aware of that effect on them , they continue to  use those substances . Equally some criminals show a similar disregard for the effects of their criminal behaviour and the consequences for themselves should they be caught.

Some enjoy the chase, the thrill of committing an act they know they are not supposed to and getting away with it. The case of  Dr Harold Shipman, who murdered up to 250 of his patients between 1975 and 1998 is one example and has been reviewed by a number of researchers who have referred to his ‘addiction to killing‘.


Crime and the Addiction Cycle:

Serial murder is a continuation, a progression which few of us understand.  Addiction is a complex issue encompassing both physiological and psychological factors.  Every person is different and while there may be common characteristics within addiction across substances or activities, each individual experience will be personal to them.

Committing criminal acts and serial murder does not cost money. It does not require a constant stream of funds to allow it to continue in that way that gambling and substance misuse requires. People can engage in such behaviour without losing their jobs, their house and their relationships as long as they don’t get caught. This may be part of the attraction. Getting away with it, not being caught and being able to continue with normal everyday routines.

The Incest of Karmoz

"Saad Iskandar Abdel Masih" or, as is well known, "The incest of Karmouz" that handsome young man with his attractive personality whom no one expected that this person could be the most terrifying criminal in Alexandria. Saad was working with his brother in a small spinning and weaving factory owned by the older brother, and he knew a rich widow there, and they had an affair. After she has given him everything she owned, and entrusted him to the place of the funds that she owned, he stabbed her several times  from the back during their affair and she died at once. He stole all her money and fled to Alexandria and this was the first crime for "The incest of Karmouz".    Later, Saad Iskandar hired a small cotton and textile yarn store in one of Karmouz's neighbourhood which he later turned it into a cemetery for some of his poor victims which most of them are girls that fall in love with his prettiness. After a number of incidents, the police not

Karl Grossman

Image
Karl Grossman is one of the most violent thugs. He killed alone more than 50 women in a period not exceeding 8 years. Grossman was born in December 1863 in Germany and worked as a butcher before the First World War. He participated in the World War as a soldier in the ranks of the Germans and he joined Hitler on his journey to power. Here we can say how Grossman began his journey to murder.   Grossman was an introvert and isolated most of the time. He did not spend the night except in the arms of a woman, but he never thought of marrying for the rest of his life. He justified this by his desire not to have children. He hated children to the point where he said that if he married and had children One day they will be massacred. In a way, he wanted to develop his work as a butcher, especially as the importation of cattle ceased during the First World War. He decided to practice his profession on another, more accessible and at the same time inexpensive animal, and  his mind  took him t

Romulus and Remus is a legend similar to the story of Cain and Able. They were twin boys born to a princess called Rhia Silvia and their father was Mars "the god of war". Their father was afraid that when they became adults they would take his thrown, so he put them in basket in the river believing that they would die soon. They then were discovered by a she wolf which raised them for a short time before they were found by shepherd who raised them as his children. When the two boys became adults and they knew their story, they decided to search for the place where the wolf raised them. When they founded it the two brothers quarrelled over where the site of the city should be. They then waited for a sign from God about which one of them is right. God then sent a sign that Remus is the right one and he then started to build a wall in the place he had chosen. Romulus became very angry and he started to make fun of his brother's wall and then he killed his brother R
