Wales
In what police referred to as a “macabre ritual,” then 17-year-old Matthew Hardman murdered and mutilated 90-year-old Mabel Leyshon in Llanfairpwll, Wales in 2001. Hardman stabbed the victim in her home, placed pokers in the shape of a cross at her feet, drank her blood and left her heart on a silver platter next to her body. Prosecutors claimed that the teenager had been “obsessed” with vampires and the occult and speculated that he’d killed the woman in an attempt to become immortal.
