Richard Kuklinski: The Iceman

Once upon a time in New Jersey 11th April 1935, a boy was born named Richard Kuklinski. He lived with his parents Stanley and Anna, and they were polish and violent against their kids. His dad was alcoholic and he beat up his family almost every day. His mom also want to beat up Richard and actually did it. Richard had three siblings. His older brother Florian died of injuries suffered from abuse by his father. The Kuklinski family lied to the police, saying that he had fallen down the steps. He had a younger sister, and a brother, Joseph and he was convicted, for raping and murdering a 12-14 year-old girl.

Kuklinski’s first murder was in 1948. Extremely violent. Richard was 13, he was ambushed and beat up Charley Lane. Charley was a leader of a gang of teenagers, and they had bullied him for some time. Following a particularly bad beating, Richard sought revenge, attacking Charley Lane with a thick wooden dowel eventually beating him to death. Personally, I think that is terrible, and grotesque. I mean as a 13 years old boy. This situation is really chocking. Although he denied wanting to kill Charley. Kuklinski dumped Lane's body off a bridge in South Jersey after removing his teeth and chopping off his fingertips with a hatchet, in an effort to prevent identification of the body. Is that just not a bit macabre and the fact that the body was never found. However, it is better to give than it is to receive.
