Inspired by the recent thread of @OTaKu_WarrIOr_N on the Otaku murderer. Post the Wikipedia page to the most gory, insane or violent murders/murderer/crimes you know of.

I'll go first. Anyone heard of Robert Pickton?

Edit: Cliff notes
A pig farmer by trade. Lived in Surrey, BC. Abducted women off the streets. With a thing for vulnerable women. Sex workers, drug addicts. Killed them and then fed them to his pigs. The DNA of multiple women was found at his pig farm although once in prison he confessed to another inmate he was sad he only "got 49 and missed the big 5-0".

Known as the Suicide Website Murderer, Hiroshi Maeue strangled his three victims after finding them online. The group formed a suicide club and all agreed to pact whereby each would commit suicide at a prescribed date and time. Besides Maeue, the group included a 14-year-old boy, a 25-year-old woman, and a 21-year-old man. Similar to the various “Craigslist killers” in North America, Maeue, a man in his late 30s who had previously been arrested and incarcerated for committing several sexual assaults that involved asphyxiation, found his victims after spending hours patrolling the internet for lonely individuals interested in ending their own life. 

After being released from prison in 2005, Maeue lured his selected victims into his car, where, under the pretext of committing group suicide via carbon monoxide poisoning, he tied them up and began strangling them in order to gain sexual pleasure from watching them suffer. As it turns out, Maeue was not only a sexual pervert of the highest order, but also a very dumb criminal. He was apprehended after the Osaka police began tracking down some of the emails he had sent to his victims, while Maeue inadvertently helped investigators after he turned in a rental car that contained the body of Michiko Nagamoto, who had bee strangled by Maeue himself. 

After a perfunctory trial, Maeue was sentenced to death and executed in 2009.

Carl Panzram

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Panzram

Carl Panzram (June 28, 1892 – September 5, 1930) was an American serial killer, arsonist, rapist and burglar. He would frequently steal from men and use his enormous physical strength to rape them and then sometimes kill them depending on his mood. In prison confessions and his autobiography, he claimed to have committed 21 murders, most of which could not be corroborated, and over 1,000 sodomies of boys and men. After a series of imprisonments and escapes, he was executed in 1930 for the murder of a prison employee at Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. His last words were "Yes, hurry it up, you Hoosier bastard! I could kill a dozen men while you're screwing around!".
