Lake Bodom murders is the way most refer to an
unsolved serial murder case that happened in Finland
in the year of 1961. Lake Bodom is a small Finnish
lake, about 22 kilometres north of the Finnish
capital, Helsinki. On the night of June 4, 1961, four
teenagers were camping on the shores of the Lake Bodom
when - allegedly - an insane person murdered three of
them in cold blood with a knife and hurted the fourth
teenager. The lone survivor went crazy afterwards, and
is still in psychiatric treatment.
Some years later - between June 3 and 6 of 1972
(approximately the 11 year annversary) - a man
announced that he was the Lake Bodom murderer.
Policial investigation proved that he couldn't be the
murderer. Fairly recent advancements have given
sufficent proof that the murderer was the teenager
that survived.
The triple homocide was the basis for the name of the
Finnish melodic death metal band, Children of Bodom.
Thats the story of the name band and the song lol Awesome though..
