December 17, 1955 - Ondrej Rigo

Operating across three countries over a two-year period, Rigo conducted a sustained campaign of violence against women before Slovak authorities brought him to account. The cross-border nature of his crimes — spanning Bratislava, Munich, and Amsterdam — complicated early investigative efforts and allowed the killings to continue. He died in Leopoldov Prison while serving a life sentence for nine murders and one attempted murder.
