Famous murderers will be remembered for very different reasons, and here are just two examples:
Harvey Glatman was a random/want-ad killer.
As a child he enjoyed bondage, and would often hang himself in his attic to achieve sexual fulfilment.
Doctors assured Glatman's parents that it was just a phase that he would grow out of!
Lizzie Borden is forever immortalized in the playground verse:
Lizzie Borden took an axe,
And gave her mother forty whacks,
And when she saw what she had done,
She gave her father forty-one.
