Francisco García Escalero (24 May 1948 – 19 August 2014) was a Spanish serial killer convicted for the murders of at least 11 individuals between 1987 and 1994.
From an early age, he showed a fascination with death and enjoyed walking through the cemetery.
Escalero continued killing many more people, practising acts of necrophilia and cannibalism; he was known to go to cemeteries to steal bodies to rape them.
Two days later, the police found Victor Luis Criado dead with his skull crushed and burned.
During the police investigation, Escalero attempted suicide on the street but only fractured a leg.
Escalero went on trial in February 1995 but was declared insane with a severe mental disorder caused by alcoholism and schizophrenia and was confined to a psychiatric hospital.
