Charles Manson As A Child.

Charles Manson as a child.

Manson placed great emphasis on childhood because, he said, children have no egos and have not yet been contaminated by their parents and society.

Kip Kinkel taped a bullet to his chest so he could kill himself if he ran out of ammo.

“In 1992, I was 18 years old. I was already intelligent and I knew what I wanted in life. I didn’t have experience in killing someone. I was thinking of having an accomplice. I chose my college mate Mikhail Odiychuk - he was fit, shy, punctual. He even agreed to kill someone. But two months before the murder, I realized that his readiness was only a boyishness. He saw it as a game. But I didn’t…You know, not everyone is capable of murder. I realized that he wouldn’t do anything so I decided to kill him. I wanted to kill him, but I didn’t want to get arrested. Everyone knew he was my friend, so police would question me, that was obvious. I remembered Corpus Delicti - no body no crime. [In Russia, conviction for murder in the absence of a body was impossible-Ed.] I decided to bury him. But it would take a lot of time and effort. I wanted something “calm.” So I chose a sewer.”
