June 7, 1943 - Ismo Junni
Finland's most documented serial killer of the postwar era, Junni operated largely within familiar social circles — targeting people close to him, including his wife, and returning repeatedly to the same geographic area. What distinguished his crimes beyond their number was a consistent and deliberate pattern of removing or collecting his victims' teeth, a behavior that gave investigators a rare forensic signature. His case remains one of the more closely studied examples of serial violence in Scandinavian criminological literature.
From Wikipedia
Ismo Kullervo Junni (27 June 1943 – 3 November 1995) was a Finnish serial killer and arsonist, who carried out several of his killings and arson in the Kivinokka summer camp area in Herttoniemi, Helsinki.
The defining characteristic of Junni's killings was that he removed his victim's teeth. For example, while killing his wife, he pulled out her teeth and later stole his friend's dental prosthesis, which he kept.
