Hillside StranglersHillside Stranglers - Serial Killers
|
| The most disturbing murderers
kill for only one reason - their own enjoyment. This program examines the
murderes who perpetrate terrible crimes against women, and are satisfied
by hurting and killing their random and often unknown victims. In the summer that followed the end of WWII, an ex-serviceman brutally murdered 2 British women. The killings were remarkable in their level of violence and ferocity. The police arrested Neville Heath, a fraudster who had been court-martialed during the war who later posed as a war hero. He was found guilty and sentenced to death, but he showed no signs of remorse for his terrible crimes and calmly mounted the gallows steps only after drinking a double whiskey. In America in the 1970's another serial killer was on the loose, preying on young and vulnerable women, whose bodies were found in the hills surrounding Los Angeles. They had been raped and strangled. Nicknamed "The Hillside Strangler", the murderer killed 12 young women over 4 months. Finally the police were led to Kenneth Bianchi, a security guard, who quickly implicated his cousin, Angelo Buono. Working together these men had enjoyed their reign of terror, but after the longest trial in American legal history Bianchi and Buono were finally behind bars, sentenced to life imprisonment. |
