The list is not full!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.135.200.103 (talk) 18:05, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

really?

State-sanctioned serial killers?

Is there an exception for serial killing done by people who are sanctioned by the state? It seems there have been some of those in history, and in Russian SSR history during the Soviet period.

Not seeing anything in the article that explicates why they would be absent from the list. So thinking it would be good to open a discussion on whether such people, when sourced, would or would not be "in scope" for the article. Cheers. N2e (talk) 03:50, 7 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
