Richard Speck was convicted on eight individual counts of murder. He had run amock in a Chicago hospital back in 1966, brutally taking the lives of nurses working on shift that night.

Despite having his initial death sentence overturned due to jury issues, he was still sentenced to between 400-1200 years behind bars.

Over time, you would naturally assume that people might start to feel some sort of remorse for their victims. This is not the case with Speck, at all.

When being interviewed for a prison video, Speck nonchalantly remarked that it 'just wasn't their night' when asked why he committed his crimes. He also refused to feel sorry for anyone, insisting he had no feeling towards what he had done.

Speck went into further, horrifying detail too, describing the exact process of strangling someone and insisting that it was nothing like we see in the movies.

A truly awful individual, it has to be said.
