One of Canada’s “most heinous and prolific serial killers” murders his cellmate in prison; Michael Wayne, who considers killing “almost a hunger” had initially warned the police that “just because [he is] locked up in prison, doesn’t mean he can’t kill”. However, no charges have been laid against him in the murder yet, but he appears to be an important suspect as he shared the cell with the victim and as the victim was found dead in the cell the following morning. Currently, there is a debate on whether to transfer him to another prison or not.

Surprisingly, up until now, it thought people can only be addicted to food, drugs, sex, and other things that do not harm people extensively as opposed to killing; however, having read this article, I found out that some people may also have addictions to murdering people; this article shocked me quite a lot in the fact that the murderer considers killing as “something [he] needs”, while most of us are terrified to even hear murder stories; this article, clearly reflects the contrast between human beings.

Moreover, the fact that the murderer lives in the same city as my family, friends, and I do also terrifies me as I feel unsafe due to the potential of him or other serial killers wanting to commit murder just to quench their thirst. In fact, I believe serial killers and other people who have unhealthy and inappropriate addictions must be treated as sick people who require treatment rather than criminals who need punishment; hence, they must be kept on a ward or a place where they can receive emotional treatment.
