Kürten's last words were: "Tell me, after my head has been chopped off, will I still be able to hear, at least for a moment, the sound of my own blood gushing from the stump of my neck? That would be the pleasure to end all pleasures." Kürten's mummified head is part of the Ripley's Believe It or Not! Museum collection in Wisconsin Dells.
(2 July 1931)

61-year-old serial killer Peter Sutcliffe aka The Yorkshire Ripper is stabbed in the face by fellow inmate Patrick Sureda with a metal cutlery knife while shouting "You fucking raping, murdering bastard, I'll blind your fucking other one" in Broadmoor Hospital, Crowthorne, Berkshire, United Kingdom. Sutcliffe, already blind in one eye after a previous attack, flung himself backwards and the blade missed his right eye, instead stabbing him in the cheek.
