I think it will be an interesting read! Robert Thompson and Jon Venables.

This is the youngest couple in criminal history. Robert Thompson and Jon Venables beat a two-year-old boy to death at the age of 10 for fun. The killers were sentenced to indefinite imprisonment and spent all these years in a special detention center. They were later released.

Dick Hickok and Perry Smith.

In 1959, Dick Hickok and Perry Smith broke into the Clutter family home in Holcomb Township to steal a safe containing $10,000. The safe was never found, but they managed to shoot four people. They were caught in Las Vegas and the couple was sentenced to death.

Bonnie and Clyde.

These are a pair of famous American robbers who operated during the Great Depression. This is perhaps one of the most famous duos of the criminal world, having committed some of the greatest crimes. WERE shot and killed by FBI agents.

Menendez brothers.

Lyle and Erik Menendez shot and killed their parents in their Beverly Hills mansion in 1989. The brothers then bought tickets at a local cinema to use as an alibi. In the following months, the brothers lived a luxurious life, thereby raising police suspicions that they were involved in the murder of their parents. Prosecutors later alleged that the brothers spent approximately $1 million in the first six months. Both brothers were subsequently sentenced to life in prison.

The Columbine Killers.

In 1999, two students named Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold carried out a massacre at a local school. 13 people were killed and more than 20 others were seriously injured. After shooting their classmates, the teenagers committed suicide.

Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb.

Leopold and Loeb are criminals who committed one of the most famous murders in the United States. Both of them were interested in Nietzsche's ideas and considered themselves "superman." In this regard, they came up with the idea to commit the perfect crime. They made a plan to kidnap Loeb's relative, 14-year-old Bobby Franks, for ransom, and then carried it out, killing the boy along the way. Their plan was not destined to come true; during the investigation, Leopold's glasses were found near Bobby's body, which became material evidence of his involvement.

Washington Snipers.

Lee Boyd Malvo and John Allen Muhammad are the couple responsible for the murder of 13 people in Washington. The chaos they caused lasted 3 weeks. The men communicated using two walkie-talkies. When choosing their victims, they were guided solely by chance. Muhammad and Malvo were found sleeping in the car, where the feds took them.

Frank and Jesse James.

These two brothers carried out their criminal activities in the Wild West during the Civil War. One of their worst crimes was the Missouri massacre. More than 23 people were killed there, most of whom were then scalped and dismembered. After the end of the war, Frank and JESSE began robbing banks, trains, and stores in the states of Iowa, Texas, and Alabama.

"The Lonely Hearts Killers".

Raymond Fernandez and Martha Beck, known as The Lonely Hearts Killers, are accused of killing 20 women. Their targets were usually single women whom they found through dating advertisements. In the end, the couple was arrested after another murder of a widow and her son. They were sentenced to death in the electric chair.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

These are two legendary bandits of the Wild West who made their living by attacking banks and freight trains. Between 1896 and 1901, the gang robbed about a dozen trains. In 1901, Cassidy, along with Sundance and his wife, fled through New York to Argentina. There they lived quite peacefully for several years, working as farmers on a ranch, but in 1901 they returned to their previous occupation. In 1908 they were captured by Bolivian soldiers.
