"Profilers have divided serial killers into distinct types who engage in either slow or fast kills. The Visionary, often a psychotic, hears voices or sees visions that order him to commit murder. The voices are variously that of Satan or God, and the victims are strangers. The Missionary is driven by a misguided, warped sense that it is his duty to eliminate certain people -often prostitutes or those of certain religious persuasions. Both engage in fast kills - the urgent need to enact their violent thoughts. Thge Hedonist kills purely for pleasure, and often gains financially from the murder; the Lust driven Hedonist gains pleasure from the anticipatory and real association between sex and murder. These killers will often return to the disposal site to sexually violate a corpse, experience erotic pleasure while fantasising about murder or become sexually aroused while in the act of killing."
