A man known as Thomas Quick is living in a psychiatric hospital in Sweden since he has been convicted of eight unspeakable crimes, 23 years from now. All along the multiple trials he had, Quick would talk about all the brutal crimes he did, going from stabbings to cannibalism, passing by stranglings, rapes, incests and way more. He would tell his stories to whoever would be willing to hear them. After he was convicted for his eighth and last crime, he became silent for about 10 years. Lately, Quick has been thinking about all the things he has done and said, and became comfortable talking about his past.
A reporter named Chris Heath succeeded to get an interview with him. Quick described to Heath all of the eight murders for which he was convicted. He also explained where his need to kill comes from. He talked about his childhood, how his parents treated him, how his dad abused him and how his mother tried to kill him several times. He talked about his dead brother which is the starting point of his killing. He explained how he tried to find his brother's remains hidden by his dad during all his life in order to eat them, and how he killed people so he could find a body to identify with. All of this figures in a book Quick wrote and published. Heath went to Sweden's psychiatric hospital several times to visit the serial killer, and talked a lot with him, trying to understand him. Thomas Quick is certainly one of the most talkative serial killer in history, yet he is still impossible to understand. Heath wrote this article in which he reports all his conversations and researches on Thomas Quick.
