Meet The Man Who Killed Jeffrey Dahmer And The Sole Reason He Said He Did It

The man who did it – Christopher Scarver – was also serving time in the prison for murder and believed to be schizophrenic.

On the morning of November 28, 1994, Dahmer left his cell to conduct his assigned work alongside Scarver and another inmate, Jesse Anderson.

They attended the prison gym, but at around 8.10 am, Dahmer was discovered on the floor of the bathrooms with extreme head wounds.

It was later discovered that he had been bludgeoned with a metal bar and had his head repeatedly struck against the wall in the assault by Scarver.

Although Dahmer was still alive and was rushed to a nearby hospital, he was pronounced dead one hour later.

Anderson had been beaten with the same instrument and died two days later from his wounds.

Immediately after attacking both men, Scarver, who was thought to be schizophrenic, returned to his cell and informed a prison guard: “God told me to do it. Jesse Anderson and Jeffrey Dahmer are dead.”.

According to a 2015 interview with The New York Post, Scarver said that Dahmer playing with his food irritated him and other inmates.

On top of that, there was a belief that Dahmer and Anderson had murdered for “unacceptable reasons”.
