The plot of the Netflix Series Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story
The notorious American serial killer and sex offender Jeffrey Lionel Dahmer, often known as the Milwaukee Cannibal or the Milwaukee Monster, killed and dismembered 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991, many of whom were people of colour and several of whom were minors.
The majority of the killings also included cannibalism, necrophilia, and the preservation of body parts. Dahmer was ruled to be legally sane during his trial despite having been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, schizotypal personality disorder, and a psychotic disorder. He was beaten to death by another prisoner in 1994 after being found guilty of 16 murders. He was 34.
