One of Japan’s most disturbing and sinister killers was a man named Tsutomu Miyazaki, who earned the nickname "Human Dracula" because he was born with deformed fingers and hands, like that that of the fictional character. Between 1988 and 1989 Miyazaki terrorized the city of Tokyo by committing horrific crimes against four young girls which included kidnapping, assault, murder, mutilation, necrophile and cannibalism becoming known as "The Little Girl Murders." Miyazaki also brutally taunted the families of his victims. So, what would cause someone to take such a sinister turn and commit such unspeakable acts against children.
