The story of a monster living among us ended on this day in 1994.
Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer who was born May 21, 1960 and given life without the possibility of parole was brutally killed with a mop handle by another inmate named Christopher Scarver who was serving time with him at the Columbia Correctional Institution in Portage, Wisconsin.
His murder was ruled homicide by bludgeoning with severe skull and brain trauma.
Thusly, serial killer, sex offender, necrophiliac, and cannibal who evaded capture for years was put down by another incarcerated inmate who had both murdered and robbed others.
Mr Dahmer had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, and schizotypal personality disorder as well as a psychotic disorder yet he was found to be legally sane at his trial.
How positively convenient.
Go figure.
The moral of this tragic tale concerns reaping what you sow and just because you accept your fate there is no guarantee that your cohorts in prison will accept you.
Yet another sad story of wasted youth by a sick bird.
