Kampatimar Shankariya (1952 – 16 May 1979) was an Indian serial killer who was executed for the murders of at least 70 people with a hammer. He was convicted and sentenced to death in early 1979.
He claimed that killing provided him with pleasure. His final words before being hanged were "I have murdered in vain," he said. "Nobody should become like me."[1]
