Daniel Gonzalez

Daniel Julian Gonzalez, a.k.a. The Freddy Krueger Killer, was a British spree killer who murdered four people. He is notable for having been inspired by horror movies to commit his crimes.

Background
Gonzalez was born on June 21, 1980 in Firmley, England. His parents, a Spanish father and English mother, separated when he was six years old. He left school with eight GCSEs and was known to be a good actor and chess champion; however, he was also regarded as a "dark and troubled" boy. 17-year-old Gonzalez had to receive care and be treated by a specialist mental health team due to his psychological problems. By age 24, he was unemployed, friendless, and addicted to drugs. He spent all his time playing violent computer games and watching horror movies. Gonzalez was also obsessed with the Columbine High School Massacre. He had been in trouble with the law before, such as when a few days before his killing spree, he ran around naked in front of schoolchildren and their parents.

Killings, Capture, and Incarceration
On September 15, 2004, Gonzalez grabbed a steak knife from his mother's kitchen and took a train to encountered Peter King, who was walking his dog with his wife. Gonzalez told King that he was going to kill him, but the would-be victim was able to fight him off. On that same date, Marie Harding was stabbed to death by Gonzalez, who was wearing a hockey mask similar to horror icon Jason Voorhees. He then returned home.

On September 17, Gonzalez, using a pair of large knives that he had stolen from a department store, stabbed Kevin Molloy and left him for dead. Much later, he broke into the home of Koumis Constantino and his wife, only to be fought off after stabbing him in the arm. An hour later, Gonzalez attempted to enter multiple houses. He eventually murdered elderly couple Derek and Jean Robinson; he would go on to say that he had an "orgasmic" experience from killing them.
