Zdzisław Marchwicki

Zdzisław Marchwicki (October 18, 1927 – April 29, 1977), called the "Zagłębie vampire", was a Polish serial killer. Marchwicki committed all of his killings in the following areas: in the neighbourhoods of Czeladź, Będzin, and adjoining towns in Zagłębie Dąbrowskie and Upper Silesia. The murders started in 1964 and continued, with occasional breaks, until late 1970. Having been arrested in early 1972, Marchwicki was charged with the murder of fourteen women and the attempted murder of another six, but one attempted murder charge was not proven. After a highly publicized show trial which lasted for 10 months, Marchwicki received the death sentence in July 1975. His execution took place in 1977 in Katowice, Poland. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zdzis%C5%82aw_Marchwicki
