Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer (born on: May 21, 1960 – died on: November 28, 1994), also commonly proclaimed as “the Milwaukee Cannibal” or at times “the Milwaukee Monster”, was one of the most horrific and blood-curling serial killers in American history. One cannot come to terms with the extremely disturbing killings of innocent victims! He was also a sex offender and abused innumerable people during his stint of serial killing! From the year 1989 to the year 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer committed about seventeen murders of men and boys, as well as dismembered their boys. He was known to eat his victims and preserve their parts of the body or whole, especially the head portion!
His killing spree began in June 1990 and the way he has tortured, raped, and then eventually killed his victims is quite disturbing. One cannot come to terms with this kind of human action. Now, on July 22, 1991, his last victim who was fortunate enough to escape, brought in police and got him arrested. Then began the end of Jeffrey Dahmer! He was arrested on the same day and his trial began.
During the trial, he was pronounced to be procuring borderline personality disorder along with schizotypal personality disorder, and a psychotic disorder. Nevertheless, Dahmer was declared sane by the judge during his trial. At an arranged introductory hearing on 13th January year 1992, the Milwaukee Cannibal pleaded guilty to not just one but 15 counts of murder. Dahmer was guilty of 15 out of 16 murders he did in Wisconsin and was ordered by the judge to fifteen stints of life imprisonment on 17th February, the year 1992.
If one is wondering why wasn’t he aware of the death penalty, his trial took place in the state of Wisconsin, where the death penalty was abolished in 1853. After the sentencing of Dahmer, he was located at the Columbia Correctional Institution. In the initial year of his imprisonment, Jeffrey was allotted solitary confinement given his cannibalistic nature. Now, after a year, with his consent, he was allocated to a much less secure unit, where he was entrusted with a two-hour per day work detail cleansing the washroom blocks.
