October 12, 1946 - Ion Rîmaru tataru
Operating in Romania's communist capital during a period when state media suppressed public crime reporting, Rîmaru carried out a series of attacks on women over roughly a year before his capture, and the authorities' delayed public response allowed the violence to continue longer than it might have otherwise. His case remains one of the most notorious in Romanian criminal history, partly for the nature of the crimes and partly for what it revealed about information control under the Ceaușescu regime.
From Wikipedia
Ion Rîmaru ([iˈon rɨˈmaru]; modern spelling Râmaru; 12 October 1946 – 23 October 1971) was a Romanian serial killer dubbed the Vampire of Bucharest (Vampirul din București) or the Blondes' Killer (criminalul blondelor). Rîmaru terrorized Bucharest between 1970 and 1971, killing four women and attacking more than ten others. Authorities had made over 2,500 arrests before his capture. The women were attacked with an axe, bitten on their breasts and thighs, and raped after they were already dead.
