Biography of Jeffrey Dahmer

Jeffrey Dahmer Case Dahmer was born Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer on May 21, 1960 to a family in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. At age eight, his family moved to Bath, Ohio. He was always very shy and suffered from low self-esteem. Jeffrey Dahmer was one of America’s most well-known serial killers, murdering and dismembering 17 young men and boys. In some cases Dahmer ate parts of their bodies. In 1994, Dahmer committed his first murder in Bath, Ohio, in 1978. A second murder followed in 1987, and during the next five years he killed another 15 boys and young men, who were for the most part poor and African American, Asian, or Latino. Although other serial murderers had claimed far more victims, Dahmer’s crimes were particularly horrifying, involving cannibalism and necrophilia. Jeffrey Dahmer was indicted on 17 murder charges (later reduced to 15) and after two weeks of trial, the court found Dahmer sane and guilty on all 15 counts. Jeffrey Dahmer was sentenced to 15 life terms or 957 years in prison. Dahmer was murdered by another prisoner in a Wisconsin prison in 1994. Dahmer was sent to Ohio where he ultimately declared himself a born-again Christian. Dahmer was attacked by other prisoners for the nature of his savage crimes. On November 28, 1994, while partaking in janitorial work, Dahmer and another inmate were severely beaten with a broom handle by fellow inmate Christoper Scarver. Dahmer died of severe head trauma while on his way to the emergency room
