January 27, 1971 - Lam Kwok-wai

Operating through direct physical violence alone, he carried out a series of sexual assaults and killings that made him one of Hong Kong's most prolific convicted serial killers. The designation of his own hand as a weapon — which he reportedly called his "fork" — reflects a calculated intimacy to the crimes that courts ultimately answered with eleven concurrent life sentences.
