Jozef Slovák

Jozef Slovák (born 1951) is a Slovak serial killer who murdered at least five women in Slovakia and the Czech Republic from 1978 to 1991 between the ages of 16 and 21. He is currently serving a life sentence for four murders in Ilava Prison in Slovakia.

Slovák remains one of the most significant participants in the controversial wide-ranging amnesty of the newly elected President of Czechoslovakia Václav Havel. Because of this amnesty, Slovák served only eight years in prison for the murder of a 21-year-old Yugoslavian woman, and after his release, murdered at least four other young women in less than a year and a half before again being captured. Jozef Slovák remains one of only two people convicted of a series of murders without any ties to organized crime in the modern history of Slovakia (the other being Ondrej Rigo). Provided by Wikipedia
