South Korea’s most vicious serial killer, Yoo Young-Chul carried out a rage filled campaign of murder between 2003 and 2004, claiming at least 20 victims.
His motive, Yoo later confessed, was a hatred towards the wealthy, although he did not confine his anger to that particular class.
Yoo Young-chul is a South Korean serial killer, sex offender, and self-confessed cannibal.
Many of his victims were prostitutes.
Yoo was already a habitual criminal when he began his murderous career on September 24, 2003, bludgeoning and stabbing an elderly couple in their home in Gangnam-gu, Seoul. Just weeks later he committed a triple murder, battering the victims (aged 85, 60 and 35), with a hammer.
Three more elderly victims would die before the year was out, while Yoo also murdered a baby during a home invasion in Jongro-gu.
On December 11, 2003, Yoo met a prostitute and fell in love with her.
