William ‘The Mutilator’ MacDonald

William MacDonald was originally born in England and migrated to Australia. He committed his first murder in Brisbane sometime in 1961 when he befriended a man by the name of Amos Hurst outside the Roma Street Transit Centre. They headed to one of the local pubs and after a lengthy drinking session headed back to the soon to be victims apartment where they drank more. Eventually MacDonald straddled Hurst and began strangling him; Hurst was so intoxicated he never even realised what was happening to him. Hurst’s cause of death was actually listed as accidental and had MacDonald not confessed to the crime he would not have been charged with it.

Adolfo and His Cauldron of Blood

Adolfo de Jesus Constanzo was born in Miami on November 1, 1962. He was the younger of two sons to a teenage Cuban immigrant and was still an infant when his father died. Having been widowed, the family moved to Puerto Rico where Adolfo’s mother quickly found a new man and remarried. Shortly after he was baptised Roman Catholic and even served as an altar boy for a time, supposedly accepting the standards of the Roman Catholic faith. When he was 10 the family moved back to Miami and a year later he would lose his stepfather also; but to their advantage this left them well off financially.

He still to this day maintains his innocence, and there are a number of theories out there that actually suggest he was not the only killer involved in the slayings (a number of theories suggest that other members of his family were involved but none have been proven).

Six Death Sentences To One Defendant, Making a Point Maybe?

36 year old Dale Hausner has already been sentenced to six… yes that’s right, six, death sentences for his instigator role in the 14 month killing spree in Phoenix. Said spree left 6 people dead and 19 others injured with the victims including pedestrians, cyclists, dogs and even horses but this week co-defendant Samuel Dietman, who is the primary witness against Hausner and who has pleaded guilty to sometimes joining him on the crimes is pleading for leniency, hoping to avoid the death penalty.
