On November 28, 1994, Columbia Correctional Institution was shocked by the murder of two inmates at once. Unbelievable! One of the victims of the murder was Jeffrey Dahmer, who was known as a cannibalistic serial killer and was convicted of 15 counts of murder, causing him to serve 957 years in prison.
The murder of Jeffrey Dahmer is also an inmate who was also convicted of murder. Reportedly, there was a certain motive for why the murderer snuffed them out. Okay, let’s find out the facts—who killed them and why they were killed. Here’s everything you need to know!
Who Killed Jeffrey Dahmer?
Christopher Scarver is known as the murderer of Jeffrey Dahmer and Jesse Anderson, who was finally sentenced to two additional life sentences after previously being sentenced to imprisonment for shooting dead Steve Lohman, a worker with the Wisconsin Conservation Corps, three times.
One year later, Scarver was transferred into the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. He then underwent psychiatric evaluation at MCFP Springfield. In 2001, he was eventually relocated to the Centennial Correctional Facility in Colorado and served life sentences until present here.
Today, Scarver is still alive and in jail. That said, he spends his time publishing poetry books online and writing letters to his 28-year-old son, who was born before he was imprisoned.
How Did Christopher Kill Jeffrey Dahmer?
The murder happened when Scarver was assigned to clean the prison gym along with Dahmer and Anderson. After the corrections guards left them, he beat Dahmer using a 20-inch (51 cm) metal bar that he had first removed from a piece of exercise equipment in the prison weight room.
After Dahmer was incapacitated, Scarver then beat Anderson using a wooden stick at the showers. Once he had fatally beaten and wounded the two, he returned to his cell and informed a corrections officer that he had been assigned by God to do it.
As a result, both inmates were mortally wounded by the beatings. Dahmer was reportedly dead an hour after arriving at the hospital, while Anderson was declared dead two days later after doctors took him off life support. After conclusive evidence was found, Scarver was sentenced to two life sentences for the murders of Dahmer and Anderson.
Why did Christopher kill Jeffrey Dahmer?
With so many rumors circulating in the public over the years about this incident, it seems that people never found out the true facts regarding what Christopher Scarver’s real motive was for killing Jeffrey Dahmer.
According to the New York Post’s report, Scarver killed Dahmer out of an extreme repulsion for what he did to other inmates, where Dahmer often mocked other inmates during meals by pouring blood as ketchup on other inmates’ food.
Scarver also revealed that Dahmer deserved it because he crossed the line with some people—inmates and prison staff. Well, his statement additionally implied that the prison guards were also involved because they wanted him dead as badly as Scarver did.
In addition, it is believed that Scarver did murder toward Dahmer and Anderson, who were both white since Dahmer’s murders of black males and Anderson’s strategy of trying to frame two black males as the perpetrators of his wife’s stabbing—in fact that he was the one who did it.
