Jeffrey Dahmer (May 21, 1960 – November 28, 1994) was arrested in 1991 and accused of murder.

In his apartment the police found decomposing meat and dozens of polaroids Dahmer had taken of his victims while they were tied up and butchered. In his freezer they found heads, neatly packed in plastic bags. During the trail Dahmer explained that he wanted to have his victims as close by as possible. He wanted to become intimate with them. Between 1978 and 1991, Dahmer murdered 17 men and boys. His murders involved rape, dismemberment, necrophilia and cannibalism.

«A Thing of Beauty» was awarded best performance of the year by the magazine Natt&Dag.
