4. Graham Young (Born – 1947)
Graham Young, from an early age was fascinated with chemistry, especially poison. He idolized murderers such as Adolf Hitler, William Palmer, Dr. Hawley Crippen, among others. Young began experimenting with poisons at the age of 14 and started buying chemicals in the name of school experiment. His family and friends were his victims. His father suddenly on day becomes ill, next the wife and then the daughter. All of them suffered from continuous vomiting, diarrhea and stomach pains. In 1962, Young kills his grandmother via poison.
Suspicious about the odd experiments, a teacher inspected Young’s desk after school and found poisons, essays about famous prisoners, and sketches of dying men. Young was sent to hospital where he started poisoning hospital staff and fellow inmates even causing a death. At the age of 23 Young was released and he went to live with his sister. But his old urge remained and he started poisoning people again. Young was sent back to prison where he eventually died many years later.
