	Torture murder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Torture murder is a loosely defined legal term to describe murderers who kill their victims by slowly torturing them to death over a prolonged period of time.
		Torture murder is usually preceded by a kidnapping where the killer will take the victim to a secluded place.
		Torture murder is considered one of the most vicious crimes in existence, due both to its premeditated nature and the general attitude of those who commit torture murder; a total disregard for another's life and a feeling of pleasure from inflicting pain on others.
