Undoubtedly, though, some killers have been motivated by their twisted beliefs, including: Ricky Kenso and Jimmy Troiano, Long Island schoolboys who tortured and killed a friend because he refused to say he loved Satan. Friends of Hecate, a Satanic group, linked by terrified locals to mystery deaths in Clapham Wood in rural Sussex, England. Tracy Wigginton and Lisa Ptaschinski, members of a Satanic lesbian cult in Brisbane, Australia, who killed a man to drink his blood. The Butcher of Mons, the Belgian serial killer who played a grisly game with the police, dumping bags filled with body parts in places with chillingly evocative names, such as the Fleuve Haine, or River Hate.
