Reverend Timothy Wrenn

Reverent Timothy John Wrenn (born Timothy James Fielding; 21st April, 1937) was a serial killer in Histalpol who killed 16 people but may have killed as high as 24 people, of his church in Farlyborough. His murders terrorised the town for years until his arrest in May 1985. Shortly after his arrest he confessed to murdering 12 people and why he did so. This lead to the other 4 known victims to be discovered. Wrenn claimed that he was instructed by God in his church to rid the town of sinners.

Though in 1987, Wrenn changed his story so that he only killed 7 people and the rest were put on him by the devil, combating God's "order" but was dismissed as by that time doctors had claimed him insane and delusional from blunt force trauma to the head when he was a teen.

In August 1994 he was proclaimed dead after wardens found him hanging from a strip torn from his shirt, possibly dead for as long as 2 days. He left a note on the bed which read "The sins of humanity cannot be stopped, you are all doomed, I have served my time."

Modus-Operatus
Wrenn picked his victims by who visits his confessional. When he picked a victim he would focus on their life in casual locations where they could feel free to talk to each other such as an actual church meeting or a meeting at a school charity sale.

After he found the gap in which he could kill his victim he would make a house visit to them and trick them to leave their drink unattended, usually by asking for food, in which time he would put a tranquillising liquid into the victims drink which would subdue them enough to make them hopeless to fight back, he would then run a sink or a bath, sometimes raping the women as he waited, this he was explaining "made the demons uneasy and more willing to leave the body".

He would then dunk their head into the water and continued until they drowned. He would then dry the body and dump place it somewhere in the house in a crucifix position.

the 12 bodies that he admitted to murdering were the basis of finding the other 4 as they only needed to know who went to the confessional often in the years he was murdering.

Death
On the 14th August, 1994, Wrenn committed suicide at 54, after 9 years of being in prison, trying to convert the inmates to Christianity. He was found in his cell hanging from a fabric strip that he tore from his spare shirt that he hid in his cell.

The guards found him on the 14th and it is mostly thought it was the 14th when he committed suicide but some reports claim that he died as early as the 12th of August, some that it was after the time claimed as late as the 21st of August. Oh his cell bed he had left a note he wrote exclaiming. "The sins of humanity cannot be stopped, you are all doomed, I have served my time." it is unknown what he was referring to, either him being sinful in an ironic twist or if he decided that converting the inmates wasn't working.

His burial whereabouts is unknown apart from the guards who actually buried him, it is thought it would be near the prison in the near by marsh, or actually in a secret prison cemetery.
