Throughout history, a small number of law enforcement officers have committed murder during their tenure or after leaving the Force.
By putting on uniforms, they are able to gain people's trust and exploit this in crime – in some cases, they even fake arrests or use work tools to help lure and kidnap victims.
Let's take a look at these hateful killers together, and "observe in the case" whether there is anything worth learning and vigilance.
On Thursday, Wayne Couzens, a 48-year-old former London Police officer, was sentenced to life in prison for kidnapping, raping and killing Sarah Everard, a 33-year-old marketing executive.
Eight months ago, the £29,000 (about 250,000 yuan) police officer devised a horrific plan to kidnap and rape a woman, snatching Ms. Sarah, 33, from a friend's house in Clapham on her way home.
The perverted killer used his search warrant to stop Sarah, handcuff her, and tuck her into his car, citing coronavirus restrictions.
It's unclear when the woman was killed, but the court revealed evidence that Wayne had tied her up with a velcro, a crime that was essentially "sex and homicide."
The retired Police Officer Drew Peterson of Bolingbrook, Illinois, was convicted of murdering his third wife in 2004 in 2012.
His wife was found dead in a bathtub with a 1-inch (2.54 cm) wound on the back of her head. However, the tub was dry, but her fingertips had wrinkles. Police believe the woman accidentally drowned after tripping over. Three years later, Peterson's fourth wife disappeared and has not been found, and he became a suspect.
James DeAngelo is a haunted and one of the most notorious serial killers. He served as a police officer in California from 1973 to 1979 before being suspended for theft. Di Angelo was fired again for threatening to kill his police chief. According to the Guardian, he lurked in residential areas of Southern California before he broke into homes to rape and torture women and girls. He would also attack and bind couples and then kill them. The victims were either shot or killed with sticks.
His madness took place in the 1970s and 1980s, but police didn't find Di Angelo through DNA until 2018. Di Angelo was reportedly involved in at least 13 murders, dozens of rapes and 120 burglaries. He was the first to be publicly arrested through genetic genealogy. Genetic genealogy uses genealogy databases to narrow down searches and help with reconnaissance and solving.
Mikhail Popkov, known as the werewolf killer, has killed many women over the past 20 years.
In 1992, while working as a police officer in russia's Irkutsk region, he began his killings and later confessed to the murder of 83 victims.
Popkov resigned in 1998, but his extreme behavior continued until 2010. He was a security guard at the time. The victims were women who drank in bars, where he would let them hitchhike and then rape, torture and kill them in the woods.
The nickname "Werewolf" is due to the fact that his victims were dismembered as if they had been eaten by werewolves.
His wife also works at the police station and has provided him with alibi on several occasions. The outside world believes that he committed such a vicious serial crime in retaliation for his wife's extramarital affair and the abuse of him by his alcoholic mother.
But he was only sentenced to life imprisonment. Angry or not?
In 1988, Officer Mascot in Florida was sentenced to life in prison for sexual violence.
James Duckett noticed that 11-year-old Teresa McAbee had gone to a convenience store late at night and offered to take her home.
The next morning, McCabee's body was found in a lake not far from the store. Medical evidence confirmed that she had been sexually assaulted before her death and subsequently drowned. The killer was later identified through blood and pubic hair in his underwear and semen from his jeans.
Three girls between the ages of 17 and 19 also testified that Darkett had let them hitchhike and had sex.
After reading these cases, the author remembered that at noon many years ago, someone asked for directions in the car, saying that he could get on the car and walk while watching, and then send me to the same place later. I was out of school and in a hurry to get home, so I didn't get in the car, I just talked verbally. I think I'm still lucky, otherwise who knows.
On the topic of women wearing revealing clothes, is not more dangerous. Individuals agree. Because the intentions of outsiders are unpredictable, we have the freedom to dress, but in the face of a complex real social environment, we still have to be rational, rather than just saying on the Internet to manage men, rather than managing women's clothing. Social civilization has not yet reached that point, don't be too naïve!
