Top 3 Female Killers Who Should Have a Lifetime Film
Lifetime has featured some compelling true crime films as of late, mostly centering on notorious real life female killers. In February 2020, Lifetime released a film about Stacey Castor, fittingly titled, Poison Love: The Stacey Castor Story, starring Nia Vardalos as the titular murderess. Stacey Castor murdered both of her husbands via antifreeze poisoning, and in 2007, she even resorted to attempting to poison her own daughter, Ashley Wallace, and framing her for the murders of her father and her stepfather. Ashley survived the attempt, and Stacey was arrested and later convicted of the murder of her second husband and the attempt on Ashley. She was sentenced to serve 51 years in prison, though Stacey died in prison in 2016.

Dhu Shanatir, Killer King: Power, Deceit, and Parallels with Other Historical Serial Killers
As rulers go, Dhu (or Zu) Shanatir was not only a king (of the Himyarite Kingdom) in the region now known as Yemen. He was truly a special case, according to what I've read. Rather than only being corrupt or war-like, the historical record forever has him pegged as a serial child rapist and murderer, who reigned from the years 478-490.

The Dirtiest Cops In America; Brevard County Sheriffs Take 1st Place
"Brevard County come on vacation, leave on probation..." Quite the catchphrase isn't it? Sad part about it is there's a really good chance that the political figure heads here are a lot more pleased about this reputation; rather than embarrassed like they probably should be. How could anyone in a leadership position be proud of being known for locking people in cages 10 times more than 98% of the rest of the country. It would be hard for anyone to object, in the event that you assumed that Brevards county-level government officials are entirely corrupt (by the very definition of the word). They must be! It's the only plausible explanation for the atrocious, dictator-like fashion in which their reprehensible criminal justice system is carried out . Well... unless the entire roster of government officials working in this fucked up county are, in fact, absolutely... undeniably... delusional in every sense of the word. Each and every one of them, helpless victims of by far one of the most horrific forms of mental illness mankind has ever had the misfortune of being exposed to. Sad to say that the chances of that explanation having any basis in reality are just about as high as your chances of super gluing your body to the tip of a rocket set to launch, being shot straight out into space towards a neighboring star and not only surviving the ordeal but coming home to tell your friends and family how the journey was. for this counties abundance of villain-like Police Officers, prove to be so obviously improbable, they're just an inch or two away from absurdly impossible. Alright now, that's more than enough ranting about Brevard Counties villainous sheriffs. Don't get the wrong impression, I could go on endlessly about the extent of the corruption in which this particular sheriffs department is guilty of; not to mention the half a dozen other police departments they cooperate with daily. However, allegations unaccompanied by the supporting evidence that proves their credibility, are always (as they should be) viewed as nothing more than empty accusations. That being said, coming up is the evidence that supports "BCSD's" nomination for #1 in police corruption in America.

"He Used To Be My Classmate!" - Shock after EFCC Arrests Doctor For Organ Trafficking (Photos).
We are living in perilous times. When I tell you we’re living in dangerous times, I mean it. The number of stories we’ve been hearing these days of kidnappings and killings and pure evil is enough to keep one up at night. I repeat, please, if you are going out, tell somebody where you’re going. Even if it’s not a family member, at least tell a friend. The days we’re inside warrant it.

World's Youngest Serial Killer
Amarjeet Sada is recorded as one of the worlds youngest killers. He was born in Mushahar, Bihar, India. It is unsure when he decided this was his path or why he came to be this way the theories are endless. Many debate if he was abused growing up, if his father hurt him, or if he faced poor living conditions, however Amarjeet was happy when it came to killing. His first murder was of his sister who was only between eight and nine months old. The family attempted to cover up the murder to protect him, however he soon struck again. In 2006 he murdered his six year old cousin which the family also tried to cover up. Later when questioned by authorities his uncle replied that he had been protected by the family and stated "family matters" as to why they where covering up the murders he committed. Chunchun was spending a day running errands and afterwards went to pick her daughter up from daycare only to find out she was missing. A search begun, and villagers questioned Amarjeet. When questioned he started smiling and bragging about how he did it. First he strangled her, then he beat her with a brick, then he attempted to bury her with debris. She was only six months old, meaning he went in picked up a helpless baby and took her to her death. Amarjeet was now eight years old with a murder count of 3. He then lead the villagers to her body. His family tried to cover it up, however police where not having it. They took Amarjeet into questioning. When questioned he was happy about it, and only wanted police to give him more buns. He was evaluated and found to be excited by inflicting pain onto others. There was a in-balance found in his brain that released hormones making him feel joy when hurting others. He was found guilty of the three murders and sentenced to three years in juvenile prison due to his age, and laws by India on children. It was reported that he called into news posts to report this call information was released by "The Guardian Post" that he was in a children's home and set to be released upon his eighteenth birthday. Was this a form of warning? Was this him reacting to the attention he was receiving with the press? His whereabouts today are unknown. We have to wonder if he returned back to village to be under the protection of his family. Some also argue that he could have been taking the blame for someone else who committed the crimes because of how advanced and conducted the crimes where played out, however if this is the case then why is he so infatuated and excited by inflicting pain. Is his acts of murder still happening? Is he still taking the lives of children and where is he now? Maybe he's your neighbor, maybe he's hiding, or maybe he's planning his next move. What events happened to lead a child to do these things and where there more murders then just the three known? Why did he prey on little girls? One thing that is for sure is the marks left behind of these children's deaths will forever haunt this village and with voids that can never be filled. Perhaps with the advancements of psychology and treatments we can one day better understand how to prevent this kind of hatred and torture from forming. The world can only sit and wonder, while hoping that the killing has finally came to an end and that eventually perhaps we can lead to a world without so much violence and hatred, however it seems a long way off for we ourselves are animals with our own instincts.
