List of rampage killers in Africa

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of mass or spree killers in Africa. A mass murderer is typically defined as someone who kills three or more people in one incident, with no "cooling off" period, not including themselves.[1][2] A mass murder typically occurs in a single location where one or more persons kill several others.[3][4][5]

This list does not include serial killers, members of democidal governments, or major political figures who orchestrated such actions.
