(CNN) — Richard Ramirez, a mass murderer and serial rapist known as the “Night Stalker” for his 1984-85 crime spree in California, died Friday morning of natural causes at age 53, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said.
The California death row inmate died at Marin General Hospital north of San Francisco, the department said.
Ramirez was convicted in 1989 of 13 murders — 11 in Southern California and two others in the San Francisco area — along with five attempted murders, 11 sexual assaults and 14 burglaries.
Ramirez, a professed “satanist,” was dubbed the “Night Stalker” for his preference of breaking into houses in the wee hours of the morning.
His attacks, many of them on elderly couples, terrified Southern California. His preferred method of attack was to quickly kill the male and rape — sometimes repeatedly — the female after ransacking the home for valuables. Some of his victims survived and provided descriptions, but police were unable to name a suspect.
Arrested in 1985, Ramirez was sentenced to die after his conviction in 1989.
Ramirez is the 59th inmate condemned in California to have died of natural causes since the state reinstated capital punishment in 1978, the department of corrections said. Twenty-two others committed suicide, and six died of other causes.
The state, which has 735 offenders on death row, has executed 13 inmates since 1979; one other California offender was executed in Missouri, the department said.
La personalidad, nuestro sello individual, está formada por los rasgos emocionales y de comportamiento, relativamente estables y predecibles, que caracterizan a una persona. Estos rasgos y conductas determinan la manera en que nos relacionamos con los demás y enfrentamos nuevas situaciones.

Si echo un vistazo a tu cerebro, ¿puedo saber si eres un criminal? En su libro, The anatomy of violence (La anatomía de la violencia), Adrian Raine apuesta por ello, ofreciéndonos un trocito más grande de aquí y otro más pequeño de allí. A esto es a lo que se refiere la anatomía de su título.
Maltratar a un animal es en muchos casos la consecuencia de una frustración o de un trauma y es un comportamiento que se adquiere en la niñez. Se puede desarrollar también en la adolescencia. El maltrato animal nace en el seno familiar o escolar y luego por transferencias puede llegar a convertirse en un comportamiento antisocial.

Dirandro en acción
Angulimala era un asesino en serie pavoroso. Asaltaba a quien se cruzaba en su camino, le robaba, le mataba y le cortaba un dedo. Como trofeo de su carrera criminal, llevaba alrededor del cuello un collar hecho con los apéndices de sus víctimas. Un día Buda pasó por la zona en la que Angulimala cometía sus fechorías y el delincuente no dudó en tratar de atacar al monje. Sin embargo, por más que corría no era capaz de alcanzarlo. Angulimala ordenó a Buda que se detuviese y este con tranquilidad le contestó que ya lo había hecho. En realidad, según Buda, era el asesino el que seguía en movimiento porque no había sido capaz de renunciar a la violencia. Este encuentro, según la leyenda, transformó a Angulimala, que se metió a monje.

Crime Scene
A veces la realidad supera la ficción y la ciencia a la ciencia ficción. Es el caso de esta investigación, que parece sacada de Minority Report o del relato de Philip K. Dick ‘El informe de la minoría’ en el que se basa la película de Spielberg. Sin ánimo de hacer spoiler, los que la hayáis visto recordaréis que el protagonista, interpretado por Tom Cruise, es el jefe de una fuerza policial denominada PreCrimen, capaz de predecir los asesinatos con antelación suficiente para evitarlos.
