Vincenz Verzeni

 VICTIMS : 2

Everyone has their personal favourite method of murder. Some like shooters, some slashers. Personally I've always felt an affinity for stranglers. I don't know why this is, although I do think it's because I am a very anal person, so the cleaner the crime scene the better. Anyway, Vincenz was one nineteenth century killer that always appealed to me.

It all started for Vincenz at the age of 12 when he was first discovering the pleasure of ejaculation. A great discovery as most of you male readers will agree. But for Vincenz it had an added attraction of coming when he wrung the neck of a chicken. And the two would forever be connected in his mind.

When Vincenz was eighteen he had his first physical 'contact' with a female. He strangled the poor girl until he achieved orgasm, and since he got what he wanted so quickly he was able to release his grip on the girl before she died. Lucky girl.

He went on to choke a few more girls, each time he was able to reach ejaculation before they died, until he met 14-year-old Johanna Motta who was walking along a road just outside of Rome.

This time it took a bit longer for Vincenz to cum, so unfortunately for poor Johanna she died during the attack. But I guess asphyxia wasn't enough for Vincenz this time. He took out his knife and disembowelled her. He also bit a large chunk out of her thigh. He said that he, "took great delight in drinking Motta's blood."

Not completely satisfied, he then cut out a piece of her thigh, with the intention of cooking it when he got home. He also took her intestines with him.

On his way home he decided to get rid of the thigh steak as he didn't want his mother asking any questions about where he got it. He kept the intestines though. Apparently it gave him an erection, smelling and touching the insides of the girl he had just butchered. I guess he was able to achieve ejaculation from this touching and feeling as he dumped the intestines before getting home.

In August, 1871, Vincenz once again felt the need to be gratified, so he went out looking for a new victim. He found a twenty-eight year old woman named Frigeni. He strangled her with a thong, and once again disembowelled the body. I guess this crime either didn't do it for him, or it was so great he needed another fix quickly as the very next day he turned on his cousin, Maria Previtali, 18. He knocked her down an begun to strangler her, but thought that he heard someone coming, so released his hold long enough for her to talk him out of continuing the attack. She went straight to the police and reported what had happened.

Vincenz was arrested that day, and quickly admitted to the two murders as well as other attacks. At his trial he showed no remorse for his crimes, and even stated that he received sexual satisfaction from them. Not a great move I would think, and one that saw him receive life in prison at the age of 24.
 

MY OPINION

As I said earlier, I have a soft spot for stranglers. I know that if I were ever to go that way (which I highly doubt) it would be my personal method of destruction. But that’s not what I’m supposed to be talking about, is it? Well, I personally love this case. It’s got it all. Asphyxia, dead chickens, a teenagers entrails and semen. What more can you want from a murderer?
