Ladislav Hojer (15 March 1958 – 7 August 1986) was a Czechoslovak sadistic rapist, necrophile, serial killer and cannibal who murdered five women between 1978 and 1981.
He attacked Eva R. on Elbe's embankment after he left the cinema, knocked her down, dragged her into some bushes and then strangled her.
Another suspect was a distant relative of the victim, who, although almost ignorant of the case, broke down while attending her funeral and also committed suicide.
Due to bad weather, however, the place was abandoned, except for a lonely woman on the shore who was observing the dam.
Unlike his other attacks, Hojer did not even call out to the woman, but the victim fought back.
It was determined that the woman hadn't had any surgeries performed or any major injuries, which prevented the use of medical records to identify her.
Due to the inability of Slovak investigators to find out more information, the woman's identity remains unknown.
By about 3 o'clock in the morning, he came across the attractive Ivana M. at a tram stop, as she was returning from a local zoo in Brno.
Hojer shoved her to the ground and dragged her to the local park, where he tried to rape her, but then proceeded to stab and finally strangle the woman.
[2] He placed the breasts on the tabletop, penetrated his penis into the genitalia that he had cut off beforehand and then put the remains in a refrigerator.
In the subsequent interrogation, he said he had admitted to the gruesome killing in order to divert attention from his academic failures, thus heavily damaging the reputation of his family.
At 10 p.m. near the victim's residence near the bridge over Motolský Potok in Prague 5, Hojer wandered around the premises for at least an hour before he passed by 51-year-old Anna Š., who was returning from an evening concert.
This is the only murder that worried Hojer, as he then proceeded to walk 300 meters from his residence and went to work at his job at the glassblowing workshop.
Attempted murder – Only by a lucky coincidence by a young girl, sitting drunk at a curb next to a tram stop, survived an attack by Hojer.
He was arrested based on the testimony of a mentally ill patient who admitted to the murder of Anna Š., but the investigation later revealed that he had been securely behind bars the entire time.
Later, particles of cloth from his trousers were found, along with other things, as well as his blood type coinciding with the saliva and sperm samples secured at the crime scene.
During the reconstructions, the live extras had to be replaced with artificial mannequins, because the killer became too absorbed in the visual demonstrations of his crimes and lost self-control.
[4] According to expert opinions in psychiatry, sexology and psychology, he was a primitive psychopath: an amoral, anabolic personality with schizoid features and aggressive tendencies.
His attitude toward murders is indicative of insensitivity and brutality, the absence of at least additional sympathy, conscience or regret.
The reports showed that: A clear guideline for explaining Hojer's motives was his exclusively negative experience with women.
A well-dressed woman arrived at the meeting, promising to get acquainted with a financially secure middle-aged man.
Chief Investigator Jiří Markovič even wanted to invite him to his home for a Sunday lunch.
In some reconstructions, the investigators met the threats of visiting citizens who demanded Hojer's release and lynching.
One day, for example, he offered criminalists in the car that if he stopped at two hitchhikers who were passing by, he would "sniff and kill" them so they could have a quick case.
He used turns like "I took her oxygen; I caught her by the mouth; she remained in my hands; I did not care what drunk, especially that she had a good skeleton ", etc.
