Ladislav Hojer

For his brutal deeds, he was sentenced to death. He also withdrew his confession once. Although there was a possibility that he had committed other crimes, there was anxiety about trying to confuse the investigators with false accusations, so the investigation was closed. Ladislav Hojer was executed on August 7, 1986 in Pankrác Prison. Before he was punished, he expressed his fear of death, and the execution was delayed twice due to the offender's illness.

Ladislav's father died of cancer when he was still little. His mother soon remarried, but she soon died of cancer as well. His inexperienced stepfather soon moved away, leaving Ladislav alone with his brother Jaroslav in an apartment in Motol. After completing a special school, he was trained by a glazier. His IQ was determined as 88, a below average score. Shortly before his capture, he lived in an apartment by himself because his brother had taken up military service. He was arrested on February 11, 1982, in connection with an investigation into the murder of Anna Š., committed at the beginning of October 1981. During the subsequent investigation, he indicated the existence of other victims, gradually admitting to another four murders, eighteen rapes and an attempted murder.

During 1982, he admitted to another murder, bringing the count to five. Criminologists believe he committed at least two other murders, but he did not admit to them. Hojer made the confession exclusively in writing, because he was ashamed of some of his deeds and refused to speak with anyone.

Ladislav Hojer (March 15, 1958 - August 7, 1986) was a Czechoslovak sadistic rapist, serial killer and cannibal who murdered a total of five women between 1978 and 1981 in Czechoslovakia.
