Günther carried two 20l milk canisters filled with petrol and poured them over himself before the altar while 300 people were attending mass. He then spread his arms and let the candles ignite his robe. Two more spare canisters exploded as the floor around the altar was covered in flames. (19 September 1978)

Saturday 21st of April 1973 (-) — Mother and victim of Ed Kemper aka The Co-ed Killer Clarnell Strandberg-Kemper is bludgeoned to death and her throat slit by Edmund Kemper aka The Co-ed Killer. Kemper then decapitated his mother and engaged in irrumatio with her severed head before using it as a dart board. He also cut out her tongue and larynx and put them in the garbage disposal. The garbage disposal could not break down Clarnell's tough vocal cords and ejected the tissue back into the sink. "That seemed appropriate,"Kemper later said "as much as she'd bitched and screamed and yelled at me over so many years."
