According to Czech journalist Marie
Šrámková, serial killer Jaroslava Fabiánová experienced a miserable childhood
and was repeatedly raped as a minor. She discovered homosexuality as a way
seeking sexual satisfaction without needing to bother with men, whom she had
grown to find incompatible. As an adult she lived with a lesbian girlfriend,
the money earned money by prostitution and by robbing prospective customers. In
the role of prostitute, she would commonly drug the men she picked up before
sexual intercourse would occur and rob
them. [Marie Šrámková, Oct. 30, 2008, Zena]
Between
1981 and 2003 she murdered
four men, two of them elderly, aged aged 84 and 78. She was convicted
and
served time for murder twice, but was allowed parole, allowing to
continue her criminal career. From the beginning, Fabiánová’s killings
are particularly
savage. At the age of 17 her victim was subjected to a battering with a
masonry hammer consisting of three blows on the head, followed by twenty
knife
stabs in the face. Her final murders, in 2003, involved attacking an
84-year-old
man with a meat cleaver and the stabbing of another man 38 times.
There are quite a few articles on
this case in Czech available online, but to date there is no Wikipedia entry.

Jaroslava Fabiánová
(born 1965 in Děčín) is a Czech serial killer who committed a total of four
financially motivated murders between 1981 and 2003. She has served the
penalties for the first and second murders, while she is currently serving a
life imprisonment sentence after being found guilty of the other two murders
and other crimes. Their similar backgrounds, psychopathology and modus operandi
led the media to refer to Fabiánová as "the Czech Aileen Wuornos.”
~ Adolescence and first crimes ~
Jaroslava
Fabiánová was born in 1965, and was raped during her childhood. Her parents
divorced when she was 13 years old, and since neither parent showed interest in
their children, she was left without money. In 1981, in Děčín, she joined a
group of Roma peers who fed themselves through small thefts and occasional
prostitution. At the turn of October and November, Fabiánová took part in
several burglaries, including that of the "Snowdrop" cafeteria, on which
she left trace evidence. Because of this, the burglary was investigated by the
police. In October, 78-year-old Vladimir Z., who looked for sexual services,
went to her apartment. He did not pay Fabiánová, and so she killed him in the
kitchen with a few blows from a masonry hammer and about 20 stab wounds with a
knife to the chest. In addition, she stabbed him in the face with a stitching
awl. Based on fingerprints left on a box of cocoa and footprints in the
burglary, she was apprehended a day after the murder. As a minor, she was
sentenced to 7 years imprisonment, but served only 4 years and 9 months.
After
serving her punishment, she became a switchman at České dráhy, but continued
earning money as a prostitute. Her clients complained about the sexual
intercourse due to her lesbian orientation, so she began to drug and then rob
them. Among the robbed was an American who lost $7,000 and electronics for
250,000 crowns, and two Hungarian tourists whom she robbed of $150,000 after
drugging their beer with a hypnotic in the hotel room. One of these men,
however, was a cardiac and, as a result of an ingestion of a high dose of
medican combined with alcohol, died. Fabiánová was sentenced to 10 years in
prison, followed up with a 5-year ban on visiting Prague, serving her sentence
at the female prison in Pardubice. She was released for good behavior in 2001.
Although she still had a ban on moving around Prague, she stole a cell phone in
February 23, which she then sold to a pawnbroker. However, she sold it using
her own identification papers, was imprisoned and sentenced to one year in jail
with 3 years probation.
~ Apprehension and conviction ~
On
June 5, 2003, Augustin K. was found in Prague's (now-defunct) Poříčí district.
He had been murdered in the kitchen with a cleaver, with the corpse then pulled
out of the living room, sat in a chair and covered with a blanket. The
apartment was then robbed of three paintings and electric tools worth 50,000
crowns. DNA traces found at the scene matched Jaroslava Fabiánová. As a woman,
who was sitting on the ground floor of the house in the Šatlava restaurant on
the day of the victim's murder, she recognized Fabiánová. Another witness said
that she helped her by selling one of the stolen paintings to a gallery for
10,000 crowns. Originally, Fabiánová had offered all three paintings, but she
sold one later herself for 2,000 crowns and she later disposed of the last one
because it was damaged. After this, a search warrant was put out for her. At
the beginning of August, she was hospitalized in Prague, and after she was
released from the hospital, she decided to stay in the city. On August 8, she
met 31-year-old Richard S. on a tram, who invited her to a disco and then to his
home. There, Fabiánová stabbed him 38 times in the bathroom with a knife. At
the crime scene her traces and, above all, traces of her DNA were found on the
victim's fingernails. On August 22, she was captured and accused of both
murders. During the investigation, she claimed that Augustin K. gave her the
paintings, and because he did not feel well, she left the apartment. In the
case of Richard S., she admitted that she had robbed the man, but continued to
claim to have not hurt him. In 2005, she was only the third woman in the
history of the Czech Republic to be sentenced to life.
