John George Haigh, known as the Acid Bath Murderer, was an English serial killer who killed six people, though he claimed to have killed nine. He used sulfuric acid to dissolve their bodies and forged their signatures to sell their belongings for money. Haigh was born in Stamford, Lincolnshire, and grew up in West Yorkshire with strict religious parents. He started with crimes like fraud and then moved on to murder. His victims included William McSwan and his parents, whom he killed to take over their properties, and later Archie and Rose Henderson for their money. Haigh's last victim, Olive Durand-Deacon, led to his capture after her friend reported her missing. Police found human remains in his workshop, and he confessed to the murders. Despite claiming insanity, he was found guilty and executed in 1949. His story was later made into a TV film called "A Is for Acid," starring Martin Clunes.
