WHO WAS JEFFREY DAHMER?
Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer also known as the Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster was an American serial killer who murdered 17 men between 1978 and 1991.
Many of his later murders involved necrophilia, cannibalism, and the permanent preservation of body parts, typically all or part of the skeleton.
According to Crimemuseum, Dahmer was sentenced to 16 consecutive life terms in February 1992 and more than 900 years in prison.
But he only lasted a few years in prison before getting beaten to death by a fellow inmate in 1994.
Although he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, and a psychotic disorder, Dahmer was found to be legally sane at his trial and was convicted of fifteen of the sixteen murders he had committed in Wisconsin.
