Well, it sure sounds like he got his comeuppance. Dahmer's got nothing on THAT guy from history.

Hello Anil. Thank you for visiting. Halloween is the time for scary stories although I admit limerick form is not meant for such as I wrote - much better as a clerihew, or similar. It is what it is...LOL peace and wellness-Linda

Hello dear Victor! Books are one source. And, of course, the internet is full of stories. However, I've not yet found how the poor guy was tortured to obtain his confession. I wonder what could have been worse than what happened to him after he confessed?

Linda ! What a cheery little poem. I guess its befitting as Halloween is being celebrated. So I will say "Well done" but it made me shiver on a hot day.
