Sorry about the layout. The posts or subheadings are in reverse order, so you have to read it from bottom to top. I hope it isn't too hard that way. & the times and date are wrong too, I'm not too sure how to change it. Thankyou.

Aftermaths .
As Jeffrey Dahmer's family members learnt of his death, his mother Joyce Flint was in anger as she responded to the media, asking if they were happy with his son's death. Dahmer's family had different responses, both sad and happy, and some had seen Dahmer's murderer as a hero. The Oxford Apartments were demolished and were planned to convert it into a memorial garden but failed to do so, and is now a vacant lot. Lionel Dahmer published a book called A Father's Story in 1994 and the money he received from selling his books were partially donated to the victim's families.
In Jeffrey Dahmer's will, he had wished for his body to be cremated after his death but researchers wanted to obtain his brain to examine. Lionel Dahmer had said that he wanted to accomplish his son's wish for all his remains to be cremated but his mother agreed to let researchers examine Jeffrey's brain. After going to court, the judge sided with Lionel Dahmer and Jeffrey Dahmer's will was granted, and his body was cremated, as well as his brain.

The Trial , Sentence , Imprisonment & Murder .
Jeffrey Dahmer pleaded not guilty for his 17, later reduced to 15, murders by reason of insanity. The trial lasted two weeks and the court had found him sane. After much discussion, the jury convicted him guilty of the 15 charges and sentenced him to 15 years life term which totaled up to 957 years jail time. Dahmer was remorseful for his actions and read his 4 page apology letter, which he concluded with, (quoted) "I hated no one. I knew I was sick or evil or both. Now I believe I was sick. The doctors have told me about my sickness, and now I have some peace. I know how much harm I have caused... Thank God there will be no more harm that I can do. I believe that only the Lord Jesus Christ can save me from my sins... I ask for no consideration." In prison, Jeffrey Dahmer declared himself as a born-again Christian and was baptised. After a church service, an inmate attempted to slit Dahmer's throat with a razor but had unsuccessfully done so and Dahmer escaped with minor injuries. During trial, he had said "...if i was killed in prison, that would be a blessing right now" as if it were a prayer. On the 28th of November 1994, his prayer was answered by his inmate Christopher Svarver who had severly beaten his head with a bar from the weight machines.
His Arrest & The Crime Scene .
On the 22nd of July 1991, everything had gone wrong. As he attempted his 18th and last murder, Tracy Edwards had escaped. Dahmer had failed to handcuff Edwards and as he fled to escape, he stopped a police car where he led them to Dahmer's apartment. In an attempt to find the knife that Dahmer had used on Edwards, they had found all the evidence of the past 13years of his murders. A crew biohazard suits were called upon to remove the corpses in Dahmer's apartment.

His Crimes .
Jeffrey Dahmer was different to other serial killers. He would, as he called it, had passive sexual intercourse with his victims. That is, necrophiliaism. The ritual that Dahmer took to kill all his seventeen victims were similiar; he would go to gay bars or malls and attract guys who he would take home and drink a few beers which were spiked or pay them money to photograph them to pose naked and then later strangled to death. He would then sexually arouse over the dead body, partake in an act of necrophilia, dismember the bodies and keep their body parts frozen and their skulls as trophies.
Jeffrey Dahmer's first victim was Steven Hicks in 1978. Steven was a 19 year old hitchhiker who he had picked up from a gay bar and taken home to drink a few beers and marijuana. After having sexual intercourse, Hicks had wanted to leave when Dahmer striked his head continously and strangled him to death. His body was later buried in his backyard. He wanted to stop this act, he wanted to lead a normal life, and so he tried.
Jeffrey Dahmer's second victim was Stephen Tuomi, 24 years of age, in 1987, nine years after his first. After taking Tuomi home, he had put Halcion, a drug, into Tuomi's drink and found him dead the next morning. He put him in a large suitcase where he took a taxi to go to his grandmother's house where the taxi driver commented on the stench. After arriving at his grandmother's place, he had his usual ritual, and it had all started again, all his fantasies and murderings, it had all come back.
Jeffrey Dahmer's third victim was James Doxtator who was 14 years old, in 1988. Dahmer had asked James to come back to his place and there he had put sleeping pills into James' alcohol where he then strangled him to death. He had peeled off Doxtator's skin and flesh with acid and smashed his bones to powder.
Jeffrey Dahmer's fourth victim was Richard Geurrero in 1988. He did his ritual once again, dismembered the corpse and the remains in the dump. Later on, his grandmother had found the smell too foul and Dahmer moved out to live in an apartment. On the 26th of September 1988, he sexually assaulted Somsack Sinthasomphone. He had been drug overdosed and was found wandering on the street where he was taken to hospital. After Somsack had come out of hospital, he led police into Dahmer's apartment where police searched but they had not searched further enough to find the bodies and photographs of his past victims. After the search, Dahmer was charged with second degree assault.
In Jeffrey Dahmer's fifth murder, he had used a knife to peel off Anthony Spear's scalp to obtain his skull where he cleaned to keep as a trophy. He had been sentenced to 8 years in jail which was later reduced to 1 year and 5 years probation. He moved out of his apartment and moved into, the now famous apartment, Apartment 213 at Oxford Apartments.
As Jeffrey Dahmer convicted his sixth to twelfth murders, everything went fine until his thirteenth. His thirteenth victim was Konerak Sinthasompone in 1991, the brother of his other victim in 1988. He was taken to his home and drugged and this time, Dahmer wanted to try something different, he wanted to create a "zombie" and so, Dahmer drilled holes into Konerak's head and injected acid. When Dahmer left the apartment to purchase beer, Konerak had escaped the apartment and wandered the streets, later found by two girls who reported to the police immediately. The police arrived at Dahmer's apartment where Dahmer convinced the police that Konerak was his boyfriend, John Hmong, and they had too much to drink. They believed him and did not further search his apartment where they would have found body parts and photographs of his victims. Later on, Konerak was strangled to death and his skull was kept as another trophy. "John Hmong" was later said to be missing but no officers were sent to investigate.
Jeffrey Dahmer's fifteenth victim was Jeremiah Weinberger in 1991. After the two had sexual intercourse, Jeremiah asked to leave but was drugged and had boiling water injected into his brain where he survived for 2 days. When he died, Dahmer kept his head in the freezer and his torso in a barrel of acid.
