A native of Jaipur, India, 27-year-old Kampatimar Shankariya was convicted in early 1979 of using a hammer to murder at least seventy victims over the past two years. In his detailed confession, Shankariya told police that he had killed his victims for the pleasure it provided.

Hanged at Jaipur on May 16, 1979, the killer's last words were a gallows lament. "I have murdered in vain," he declared. "Nobody should become like me."
