Peter Woodcock

Peter Woodcock (b. March 5, 1939) is a Canadian serial killer and child rapist who murdered three young children in Toronto, Canada in 1956 and 1957 when he was still a teenager. Woodcock was apprehended in 1957 and declared legally insane and placed into an Ontario psychiatric facility under the name David Michael Krueger. Some thirty-four years later Woodcock also murdered a fellow psychiatric patient during the first hour of his very first hospital day pass. Woodcock was subsequently returned to the same mental institution.
