In his testimony, he also admitted to one more attempted murder and to torturing his victims. BiographyBogdan Arnold was born on February 17, 1933 in Kalisz. He graduated from a vocational school, as an electrician.[1] He was married three times, but each time he got divorced, as his wives accused him of aggression and domestic violence. The consequence of the divorce was formed by his alcoholism and misogyny. Arnold lived in Katowice at Yaroslav Dombrovsky 14 Street, where he occupied several rooms in an apartment on the fourth floor. He worked in the Silesian zinc-processing plant.[2] Murder SeriesBogdan committed the first murder on October 12, 1966, when he met 30-year-old Maria B. at the "Kujawiak" bar. They talked, after which Arnold bought her a few beers and offered to got his house, to which the woman agreed. According to the criminal, initially he did not plan to kill his first victim, but when she offered him sex for 500 złoty, he was enraged because he considered himself attractive enough to get it for free. In a fit of anger, Bogdan killed Maria with a hammer, and placed the body in the bathroom, having previously covered it with chlorine in order to slow down the process of decomposition. The next murders occurred in a similar pattern: on March 12, 1967, Arnold lured a 40-year-old prostitute into his apartment, whose identity was never established, after which he strangled her, dismembered the body and hid the remains in his apartment. The next victim was 35-year-old Stefania M., with whom the offender met in drinking establishments on April 21, 1967. Later, the woman was strangled, dismembered, and the remains were hidden next to the remains of the previous victim. The last murder committed was on May 22, 1967, stabbing 30-year-old prostitute Helga G. in his apartment. The remains were hidden under their bed.[3] ArrestAt the end of May 1967, Arnold's neighbors noticed a swarm of flies on the landing and an unpleasant smell coming from Bogdan Arnold's apartment. The criminal himself did not visit his apartment for several days due to the impossibility of living with four corpses, worrying his neighbors further. On June 1, 1967, the police were summoned, who opened the front door to Arnold's apartment and found four bodies in varying degrees of decay, as well as a host of cadaverous worms and flies all over the killer's apartment, and a persistent smell of decay. Arnold himself disappeared from the crime scene and was hiding for a week from law enforcement agencies who were searching for him. Finally, on June 8, 1967, a police officer, who was on personal business in the area of Granicnaya Street near the Silesian zinc refinery, drew attention to the slovenly appearance and dirt on the clothes of one of the passers-by. Approaching him, the police officer demanded documents, but the citizen did not have them with him. In addition, he could not clearly explain the reason for being in a public place in an untidy state. The policeman, accepting Arnold as a normal drunkard, was about to release him, but at the last moment he changed his mind and decided to take him the police station, where fingerprints revealed the passers-by's true identity as Bogdan Arnold. It turned out that he had had been hiding all week in an abandoned warehouse near his place of work.[4] Trial and executionBogdan Arnold immediately confessed to his crimes and began to give evidence. In addition to four murders, he also confessed to an unsuccessful attempt to poison his third wife. He did not repent and strongly regretted that he could not poison his wife, accusing her divorce with him and the misogyny that he had developed as the driving force. On March 9, 1968, Bogdan Arnold was sentenced to death by hanging. On December 16, 1968, the verdict was carried out.[5][6] Bogdan Arnold was buried in an unmarked grave at number 38 in a special cemetery for executed Polish criminals. The grave was next to the grave of another Polish serial killer, Zdzisław Marchwicki, who had the 39th number.[7] In 1997, after the abolition of the death penalty in Poland, the cemetery was destroyed by the presidential decree of Aleksander Kwaśniewski.[8] References1. ^{{Citeweb|url=https://wiadomosci.onet.pl/na-tropie/bestia-z-katowic-horror-na-poddaszu/xr1mw|title=The beast from Katowice.
