Personal Profile: Peter grew up in a small town called Highland grove. He was one of many as he has 6 other brothers and sisters. His mother didn’t know she was pregnant with him until it was too late to get rid of him, so he was a mistake, according to his mother. So whilst she was pregnant with him she drank and smoked everyday without fail. As a result of that Peter was born with a mental illness called sadistissonia – meaning that he had no control over his mental and physical reactions to anger and sadness. The doctors told his mother that it could trigger off at any stage of his life. Due to his illness he didn’t get the attention and love from his mother like the rest of his brothers and sisters. Instead he was isolated and withdrawn from his nuclear family as well as society. There was only one thing that made Peter happy and that was a gym skipping rope. He treasured that skipping rope because it was the first thing his first crush ever brought for him when he was 15, right before she died. She was murdered by a famous serial killer who kidnapped her. She was the only one that Peter ever cared about. Since the incident, Peter developed an obsession towards famous serial killers; he searched most of the brutal killings online, most of them happened to be local. He began to take pleasure in the stories as he read them online, he somehow found comfort in knowing the reasons why they killed innocents. He then became envious of all the killers appearing on the news and headlines. Not realising that the incident had triggered his illness, he read the latest story of a boy killing the whole of his class year just to become famous, using a bow and arrow from the story robin hood. He then began to think about what weapon he could use to do these killings that was easy to get hold of in high school. He then remembered the rope that was given to him by his crush, and decided that that was the best weapon to use to kill students in his year. After his first killing Peter then became obsessed with the adrenaline he felt when committing these killings, on his last victim, he made sure that he fell asleep next to her, in order to get caught in the act. When he was asked ‘why did he commit all these murders?’ He declared “I was giving them the excitement and scandal they secretly craved”
