Sam Russell

Sam Russell is a serial killer and the now-incarcerated partner of John Nichols, who appeared in The Black Queen.

History
Little is known about Russell, including why he started killing prostitutes alongside John Nichols. However, what is known about him is that he became a hacker, which could be how he met Nichols, also a hacker. Together, they started killing in 2004. When he was arrested as a suspect in the killings because of his numerous offenses of trespassing, Russell agreed to take the fall for all eight murders he committed with Nichols, even though he was responsible for only four. In return, Nichols supplied him with pills in prison. He was eventually sentenced to death.

Modus Operandi
Russell targeted prostitutes along with Nichols, all of whom were drugged by a drink they took. He would then kill his individual victims by either stabbing them or strangling them to death, but it is unknown as to which method he used to kill his victims.
