World's Worst Crimes: World's Worst Criminals

'Grand job, that last job was. I gave the lady no time to squeal. I love my work and want to start again. You will soon hear from me, with my funny little game. Next time I shall clip the ears off and send them to the police just for jolly.'
-Jack the Ripper

Bonnie and Clyde shot eight victims
Gary Ridgway butchered more than 50 prostitutes
Dr. Marcel Petiot killed 67 times for cash
Pedro Lopez slaughtered some 300 people for sex
Harold Shipman may have finished off even more victims than that.
