A man who worked as a shopping centre Santa Claus murdered eight men and hid their dismembered bodies inside plant pots that he would then rearrange from time to time. Bruce McArthur, 70, preyed on men in Canada's gay village and got away with a string of horrific crimes over seven years.
McArthur, who is Canada's worst-ever serial killer, would photograph his victims before and after they were murdered and kept a picture album as a grim trophy. When police finally caught up with McArthur, they found potential victim number nine in his bed, with his before-murder picture already taken.
