3. Jaishankar
On August 23, 2009, while on duty, police constable M Jayamani was kidnapped from the Kangeyam district in India. When her body was found on September 19, a massive manhunt was launched for the killer. A month later, they arrested a man named Jaishankar and charged him with the murder. Authorities also connected him to 13 other rape-murders and six more rapes.
On March 18, 2011, after going to court, Jaishankar was being transported from Coimbatore to Dharmapuri when he escaped in Salem at a bus depot. The day after his escape, one of the guards committed suicide over the incident. Over the next two months, it’s believed that Jaishankar raped and murdered six women, plus he killed a man and a child. Jaishankar was recaptured after he tried to sexually assault a woman, who had called for help.
In April 2013, Jaishankar was convicted of rape and sentenced to 10 years. As he was serving his sentence in Parappana Agrahara Central Prison, he planned his next escape. On September 2, 2013, he used a duplicate key to get out of his cell. Then he climbed a 6-meter (20 ft) fence, walked across a roof, and climbed a 9-meter (30 ft) wall.
Using either a belt or a bedsheet to lower himself down the wall, he fell and hurt himself during the escape. Four days later, he was recaptured. Fortunately, no one else was killed. Jaishankar was returned to prison and is facing 20 other charges of murder.
