Fact is never more strange than fiction than when it comes to
crime, and the crimes described here are so bizarre it's
inconceivable that they could have been made up. In this all-new
collection of truly unusual crimes, a sequel to the bestselling
Mammoth Book of Bizarre Crimes, Odell and Donnelley tell the
extraordinary stories of criminal acts far stranger than any
fiction, including the murder of Italian fashion designer Gianni
Versace by spree-killer Andrew Cunanan and the killing of intern
Chandra Ann Levy, who had had an affair with US Representative Gary
Condit, though he was cleared of any involvement in her murder.
They reveal how Danilo Restivo was eventually convicted of the
murder of Heather Barnett in England after the ritualistic placing
of hair connected him to another murder in Italy. They tell the
terrible story of the inexplicably brutal murder, over a number of
days, of 15-year-old Kristy Bamu by his sister and her lover
because they believed him to be practising 'witchcraft'. They also
give a chilling account of the thirty-one-year-old mother-of-two,
Joanna Dennehy, who killed three men. 'I started killing,' she
said, 'to see if I was as cold as I thought I was. Then it got
moreish and I got a taste for it.'
