He
was not typically considered as a serial killer, however, he was
regarded as the most wanted man in Britain at his times. His murders
were proclaimed as "sensational", he not only decomposed
his victimes, but also drained them with all of blood. For that
reason he was called "Vampire Killer". He was born in
Stamford in 1909, his parents were developed to strong Puritan
beliefs and were deeply rooted into the faith, were pronouned to be
part of Plymouth Brethern. The harsh upbringing and constant
discipline made him hyper-sensual, hyper-sensitive and very, very
vicous and vindictive. He used to remember nothing but harm and pain.
He adapted very easily, he could easily drift between two so
different enviromnemts; his strict and severe parents and much
easy-going shool life. He didn't mind to take part in the
philosophical discouse about the God, the importance of the Bible,
behind the facade of bing strong and unbroken, he was very weak,
emotionally crushed, the lack of love from the side of his parents
made him – directly vulnerable to commit various crimes, the
psychological tests he was submitted to later on, proved, the lack of
emotional bound between him and his parents made him suffer a severe
breakdowns, not treated and passed unnoticed made him aggressive,
frustrated, pushed him to do murders, which, indeed were very
ruthless.
If
he had become an actor, he would have been a brilliant one, for sure, he
was very charming, he was very frindly toward the people he met and
killed later on. After thhe terror of his murders, one of the police
officers admitted "Hiagh was the most charming and the nicest
murderer they ever met". The demenour was not the only one
fearture which made him so convincing, the other one was his
appearance, which was very reasuuring. None of his jobs was good
enough to make him rich, to make him successful, to make him,
someone. All his income was based on crimes he comitted. To make
amends after repetitive chagees of the froud, he wrote an apologetic
letters to his parent, ex-wife to be. No matter how much he tried it
was not enough. He lost all his credibility. To change his fate he
decided to go to London, he was a skillfull man, he had a flair for
engineering works, proved he could do almost nathing he was asked
for. He worked hard, he saved money, he wanted to go on ... and he
did, indeed. For eighteen months he gradually changed his life, loved
fast cars, fancy restaournats, he adjusted to a new lifestyle. The
financial froud made him arrested again, this time, the sentence
pronounced – four years of hard labour, the prison library he read
a lot. He focused mostly on murders which described corpus
delicti, "the bosy of the crime". There
he found put the the murder may be literally ingenious until the
corpse is identified as the victim's. He also found series of
articles which described the murders with the use of sulphric acid to
reduce the body of a person murdered and made it utterly
unrecognizable. To make it a sludge. On a parole he commited another
crime and once again was sentenced – this time 21 months. At the
age of 34 he was free again, in a new scheme in his mind. He worked
genuinly at the Alan Stephen's book store, it was a good job which
allowed him to change his image; now with posh outfit and alike car
he started being recognizable. His life was kept in secret, no one
had a foggiest ides that he has been married for 10 years, yet, he
has not seen his wife since then. To implement his plan he needed a
work shop, he eventually found on in Glouster Road, a small basement,
which fitted his needs perfectly. He practised a lot before he
eventually started his devilic murders. He murdered number of people,
the schemata was simple, to shot and to despose the bodies in the oil
drums filled with acid. His confirmed victims were; McSwan Family
(William Donald McSwan; Donald and Emily McSwan) 1945; Henderson
Family (Archibald
and Rosalie Henderson) 1948; Henrietta Helen Olive Robarts
Durand-Deacon, 1949.
Haigh
was hanged in 1949 by executioneer Albert Pierrepoint.
