A serial killer is a person who has murdered at least 4 people. A serial killer often kills (over a longer period of time). A lot of people would call a murderer a serial killer when the person has killed 3 people, others when the person has killed 10 people. The special thing about serial killers: First they kill a person and then they wait a week, a month, maybe 6 months before they kill their next victim. Serial killers often only kill one person at a time. There is often a likeness between the way the victims are murdered and who the victims are.
