Jozef Slovák

Who is Jozef Slovák?

Jozef Slovák is a Slovak serial killer who murdered at least five women in Slovakia and Czech Republic from 1978 to 1991. He is notable for being of above average intelligence, for example, being the author and holder of several patents in electronics. He is a psychopath, currently serving a life sentence for four murders in Ilava prison, Slovakia.

Slovák remains one of the most significant participants in the controversial wide-ranging amnesty of the newly elected President of Czechoslovakia Václav Havel. Because of this amnesty, Slovák served only 8 years in prison for the murder of a 21-year-old Yugoslavian woman, and after his release he managed to murder at least four other young women in less than year and a half before being caught again. Jozef Slovák remains one of only two people convicted of serial killing without any ties to organized crime in the modern history of Slovakia.
