Inmate who killed Jeffrey Dahmer speaks

(The New York Post) The inmate who killed serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer in 1994 spoke for the first time in an exclusive to the N.Y. Post why he killed the cannibal.

Christopher Scarver, the inmate, said he grew to despise Dahmer because he would fashion severed limbs out of prison food to taunt other inmates.

He'd drizzle on packets of ketchup as blood.

\"He would put them in places where people would be,\" Scarver said to the Post.

Scarver, arrived at Wisconsin's Columbia Correctional Institution around the same time as Dahmer in 1992, knew right away to keep a safe distance from Dahmer.

On November 28, 1994, when Scarver doled out his vigilante justice in a prison gymnasium of Portage, Wis.

Dahmer, Scarver and a third inmate, Jesse Anderson were led unshackled to clean the bathrooms by correction officers.

Scarver kept a newspaper article detailing how Dahmer killed, dismembered and in some cases ate 17 men and boys from 1978 to 1991.

Scarver had retrieved his mop and was filling a bucket with water when someone poked him in the back.

Scarver grabbed a metal bar from the weight room and confronted Dahmer with the news story he had been carrying in his pocket.

“I asked him if he did those things 'cause I was fiercely disgusted. He was shocked. Yes, he was,” Scarver said.

“He started looking for the door pretty quick. I blocked him,” Scarver said.

Scarver believes it was no accident that he ended up alone with Dahmer — since prison officials knew he hated the madman and they wanted him dead.
