The bizarre life of an African mass-murderer,

Sierra Leone warlord Sam Bockarie will be remembered for allegedly advocating a particularly horrific tactic of war: the deliberate and widespread practice of hacking off the limbs, lips and ears of his victims.

Mr Bockarie, who died aged 40, was wanted by the United Nations-backed war crimes tribunal for his alleged part in the atrocities.

What a bastard eh? But just to prove that there's a human side to every psychopath...

In his time, he was also a disco dancing champion, diamond miner, hairdresser, electrician and waiter.

Puts a new spin on that song "Murder on the Dancefloor" doesn't it? Those zany Africans.
