Ondrej Rigo (born 17 December 1955) is a Gypsy from Slovakia, Nr. 1 serial killer and necrophile who targeted women in Bratislava, Munich and Amsterdam from 1990 to 1992. Currently serving a life sentence for 9 murders and 1 attempted murder in Leopoldov Prison in Slovakia, Rigo is a schizoid personality disorder sufferer and an antisocial psychopath while also being a necrophile, finding pleasure in having intercourse with women with mutilated heads. Ondrej Rigo remains the Slovak murderer with the highest number of victims and he is also the most prolific serial killer in modern Slovak history. He is eligible to apply for parole in 2019.
Ondrej Rigo has a brother, living in Germany, and a daughter. According to an article in Slovak newspaper SME Rigo is of Roma ethnicity. Even as an adult, Rigo was a short man. When he was 14 he was taken into a youth corrective institution and later into an orphanage together with his siblings. They stayed there for a year, having been taken from their mother after their father's arrest. Rigo's mother died in 2000 after being hit by a car. Learning of her death is the one time he remembers crying in his life. His father died during a burglary. Rigo claims he liked both parents.
He was married two times. His first marriage was during military service (compulsory in Czechoslovakia at that time), but "when we returned to Bratislava she started to become jealous. You know, an Easterner (note: meaning from Eastern Slovakia, a culturally and linguistically distinct region of the country), so she returned to Poprad. I went with her to say goodbye at the station," recalls Rigo. Little is known about his second marriage. The woman he was with in the movie theatre on the night of his last murder is being referred to as his "partner".
