Charm of Death. Why They Kill

What could possibly connect a budding heavy metal band, a police officer's sycophant, a cheerful clown named Pogo, and a grandfather raising his grandchildren abandoned by his wayward daughter who fell into a cult? The only thing is — they are all criminals, whose cynicism and brutality have shocked the world. This book collects the most chilling stories, terrifying the imagination with their cruelty. The author not only recounts horrific crimes but also tries to understand why the most ordinary people suddenly turn into dreadful monsters. • Who is the Siberian Ripper? • What was the gang of paramedics up to? • Why did the Chichjon family become famous? Answers to these and many other questions can be found on the pages of this book!
