Václav Mrázek
Václav Mrázek (22 October 1925 – 29 December 1957) was a Czechoslovak serial killer who was convicted of killing at least seven people in Chomutov from 1951 to 1957. While primarily sexually motivated, he also robbed his victims, and at trial, he was convicted of 127 total crimes. For the murders, Mrázek was hanged at the Pankrác Prison in 1957. Early life Mrázek was born on 22 October 1925 in Svinařov as one of 12 children to a poor family, four of whom died young. Due to their circumstances, the family had to sleep in a railroad car at one point. Mrázek only studied until the 5th grade of primary school, and after that, with his parents' knowledge, he and his brother Karel began stealing, mostly food and clothing. Due to his profiency, Mrázek's father forced him to teach his younger siblings as well. For one of these thefts, he was given a conditional sentence in 1941 and served 18 months in prison. After his release, Mrázek longed to become a police officer or soldi ...

Svinařov
Svinařov is a municipality and village in Kladno District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 700 inhabitants. Etymology The name was most likely derived from cattle breeding or wine growing for the needs of the nearby gord of Libušín. Geography Svinařov is located about northwest of Kladno and northwest of Prague. The eastern part of the municipal territory lies in the Prague Plateau, the western part lies in the Džbán range. The highest point is at above sea level. The Svinařovský Brook flows through the municipality. History The first written mention of Svinařov is from 1328, when the village was sold by Bořita of Ředhošt to the Vyšehrad Chapter. It is probable that there was some kind of settlement much earlier thanks to an archaeological research carried out in a nearby town of Libušín which proved that the area was inhabited in the 6th–7th centuries. The existence of Svinařov was closely connected with the gord of Libuš ...

Modus Operandi
A ''modus operandi'' (often shortened to M.O.) is someone's habits of working, particularly in the context of business or criminal investigations, but also more generally. It is a Latin phrase, approximately translated as "mode (or manner) of operating". Term The term is often used in police work when discussing crime and addressing the methods employed by criminals. It is also used in criminal profiling, where it can help in finding clues to the offender's psychology. It largely consists of examining the actions used by the individuals to execute the crime, prevent its detection and facilitate escape.Douglas, J. E. and A. W. Burgess, A. G. Burgess, R. K. Ressler. ''Crime classification manual'' (John Wiley & Sons, 2006) , p. 19-21. A suspect's ''modus operandi'' can assist in their identification, apprehension, or repression, and can also be used to determine links between crimes.Berg, B.L. ''Criminal Investigation'' (McGraw Hill, 2008) In business, ''modus operandi'' is used ...

People Executed By The Czechoslovak Socialist Republic By Hanging
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...
