Francisco Guerrero Pérez (1840–1910), also known as Antonio Prida, was the first serial killer to be captured in Mexico. Guerrero killed approximately twenty female prostitutes in Mexico City between 1880 and 1888. He also killed one woman whose status as a prostitute has been inconsistently reported. Guerrero and Jack the Ripper were contemporaries and their modus operandi were similar—some authors compare the two men. He was also known as ''"El Chalequero"'', ''"The Mexican Bluebeard"'', ''"The Consulado River Strangler"'', ''"The Consulado River Ripper"'', or the ''"The Mexican Ripper"''. He was an organized, sedentary, and missionary killer who was motivated by hatred. ==Background== Guerrero was born in 1840 in the Bajío region of Mexico to an impoverished family. He was an eleventh child whose childhood was marked by poverty, maternal abuse and paternal absence. In 1862, the twenty-two-year-old migrated to Mexico City, where he worked for a shoemaker. Guerrero never masked his misogyny, nor his crimes, but was married and had four children. He also had extramarital children and numerous relationships with female prostitutes. He may have been a procurer. He lived in the Peralvillo neighborhood where he was open about his crimes—Guerrero was proud of his lifestyle as well as his murders. However, Guerrero's peers in Peralvillo were too afraid of him to act in response to the killing. Paradoxically, he was said to be a Catholic and a devotee of the Lady of Guadalupe, a faith that Guerrero proclaimed proudly to others. Guerrero dressed extravagantly but elegantly, with cashmere pants, a charro vest and a charro jacket. He was described by an anonymous source as a "...handsome, elegant, flirtatious and quarrelsome man". There are two theories on the origin of the nickname ''"Chalequero"''. One says that it was simply because he always used vests, and the other postulates it was because the name ''"Chalequero"'' alludes to the Spanish expression ''"... a puro chaleco"''. This expression means that he made a sexual victim of any woman that he felt attracted to, whether they liked him or not. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Francisco Guerrero (killer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
