Today I will share with you an incident from 175 years ago. Who was world's most dangerous serial killer in black history.
So let's start..
Diego Alves, Portugal's first serial killer, is thought to have been born in Galicia in 1810 and immigrated to Lisbon as a child. He went to Lisbon to work as a working boy in rich families. But soon Alves realizes that life is better in crime for more income. He committed the first murder in 1838.
He would wait in a secluded place for the farmers to return home at night. Alves would kill anyone and take everything if he got a chance. He would then drop the body into the water from a nearby 213-foot-high bridge. From 1836 to 1839 he committed at least 60 murders in this way. Initially, the police thought the farmers might have committed suicide. The bridge was closed for some time.
At one point Alves also formed a band of robbers. They were caught trying to kill four people together at the house of a local doctor. After being caught, the mystery of the death of the farmers also came out one by one from his confession. Alves was hanged in 1841 for such a heinous act. But the wonder of history happened only after that.
Scientists became interested in the structure of Alvez's brain. Alves' head is collected inside a jar to find out how a criminal's brain works. This head is still preserved in the Department of Medicine at the University of Lisbon.
