April 21, 1951 - Staf Van Eyken
Van Eyken carried out three strangulation murders within a five-month span in the early 1970s, targeting women in a concentrated area of Belgium. The attacks were marked by a distinctive signature behavior that gave rise to the nickname he became known by in the press and in later accounts of the case.
From Wikipedia
Staf Van Eyken (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈstɑfɑn ˈɛikə(n)]; born 21 April 1951) is a Belgian serial killer who strangled three women between October 1971 and March 1972 in Mechelen and Bonheiden. Because he liked to bite his victims, he got the nickname The Vampire of Muizen. In 1974, he was sentenced to death by an Antwerp cour d'assises, which was automatically converted to life imprisonment.
