Who are the most insane killers in the world?

Answer 1

There is a misconception about killers, especially serial killers, that they are insane. Very few are or they would be caught much sooner. APD (antisocial personality disorder) is much more common.

But there have been several cases where the killer has serious mental problems. Andrea Yates, the Texas housewife drowned all five of her children in the bathtub. Initially she was found guilty and sentenced to death. Later at a second trial she was found to be mentally ill, which she was, and is now being treated at a phyciatric hospital. Yates was saved by her very long history of mental illness that was well documented.

Another is Ed Gein of Plainsville, WI. Gein lived on a remote farm and after the death of his father, mother and brother he lived totally alone. The solitude was probably a detrimental factor, humans for the most part are meant to live with others for our own mental health.

And last but certainly not least is Charles Manson. Although most experts believe that Manson does have APD, he very plainly is not of right mind. But even in his muddled mind the true Manson is always lurking. When interviewing Manson it is perfectly clear that tries to control the whole scene and almost never fails to 'creep out' the person doing the interviewing.
